the women's team

The England women's national under-19 football team, also known as England women Under-19s or England women U19(s), is a youth association football team operated under the auspices of The Football Association. Its primary role is the development of players in preparation for the senior England women's national football team and is the second highest tier of development behind the under-23 level. As long as they are eligible, players can play for England at any level, making it possible to play for the U19s, U23s or senior side, and again for the U19s. It is also possible to play for one country at youth level and another at senior level (providing the player is eligible).

The team primarily competes in the annual UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship and its qualification competition. In odd years, the team's performance in the tournament could qualify the under-20 team for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. The team's best achievement to date is winning the 2009 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship.
