The 2025 European Women's U-19 Handball Championship was the 15th edition of the European Women's U-19 Handball Championship, and it was held in Podgorica, Montenegro, from 9 to 20 July 2025.[1] This edition featured 24 teams for the first time.

Host selection

Montenegro won the hosting rights unopposed at an EHF meeting in Oslo on 21 June 2024.[2][3]

Expansion

After the U-17 Euro was officially expanded to 24 teams,[4] the EHF decided to also expand the U-19 competition to 24 teams also on 23 September 2022.[5]

Format

In the first round, 24 teams were drawn into six groups of four:

  • The top two teams from each group advanced to the Main round.
  • The third- and fourth-placed teams advanced to the Intermediate round.

In the second round, all teams were again split into six groups of four, but this time, against the teams who advanced to the same round as them. Each separate phase (Main and Intermediate) consisted of 12 teams and was split into three groups of four.

  • In the Main round, the top two teams from each group plus the best two third-placed teams advanced to the quarterfinals. The other four teams advanced to the 9th–16th place playoffs.
  • In the Intermediate round, the winners of each group plus the best second-placed team advanced to the 9th–16th place playoffs. The other eight teams advanced to the 17th–24th place playoffs.

Qualification

To accommodate 24 teams and fill in the eight extra spots, the EHF decided to not relegate anyone in 2023 and promote the second, third and fourth place teams from the Women's 19 EHF Championship.
