The 2019 WAFF U-15 Girls Championship was the second edition of the WAFF U-15 Girls Championship, an international women's football youth tournament organised by the West Asian Football Federation for the women's under-15 national teams of West Asia. Initially, Lebanon was scheduled to host the tournament from December 12 to 16, featuring four teams, with players born on or after 1 January 2004 eligible to participate.[1][2] In November 2019, it was announced that the hosting rights had been reallocated to Jordan, which would serve as the new host.[3][4]
Jordan were the defending champions, having won last year's edition in the United Arab Emirates.[5] However, they failed to defend their title, falling to Lebanon on the second match day. On the other hand, Lebanon went on to win their first title undefeated.[6][7]
