The 2024 UEFA European Under-19 Championship (also known as UEFA Under-19 Euro 2024) is the 21st edition of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship (71st edition if the Under-18 and Junior eras are included), the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for the men's under-19 national teams of Europe. Northern Ireland will host the tournament from 15 to 28 July 2024. A total of eight teams will play in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2005 eligible to participate.

Italy are the defending champions being crowned champions for the fourth time after beating Portugal 1–0 in the final.[1]

4. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;

6. Goal difference in all group matches;
7. Goals scored in all group matches;
8. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams have the same number of points, and they met in the last round of the group and are tied after applying all criteria above (not used if more than two teams have the same number of points, or if their rankings are not relevant for qualification for the next stage);
9. Disciplinary points

* Yellow card: −1 point;
* Indirect red card (second yellow card): −3 points;
* Direct red card: −3 points;

10. UEFA coefficient for the qualifying round draw;
