2022 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualification

From this season, UEFA implemented a new format for the women's U17 and U19 Euros, based on a league-style qualifying format.

The teams are divided into two leagues: League A and League B. In this first season of the new system, the teams were divided using coefficient rankings.

Each league will play two rounds:

• Round 1: In each league, groups of 4 teams will play mini-tournaments in a single round-robin format. The six winners of each mini-tournament in league B and the best runner-up will be promoted and the seven last-placed teams in league A mini-tournaments will be relegated.

• Round 2: The seven winners of League A will qualify for the final tournament. The six winners of mini-tournaments in league B and the best runner-up will be promoted and the last-placed teams in league A will be relegated for Round 1 of the next edition of the tournament.

For rounds 1 and 2, teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were to be applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 14.01 and 14.02):^[2]

1. higher number of points obtained in the matches played among the teams in question;
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
4. If more than two teams were tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams were still tied, all head-to-head criteria above were reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
5. Goal difference in all group matches;
6. Goals scored in all group matches;
7. Higher position in the applicable ranking:

• for teams in round 1, position in the coefficient rankings;
• for teams in round 2, position in the round 1 league ranking.

The draw for the qualifying round was held on 11 March 2021, 15:00 CET (UTC+1), at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.^[3]

The teams were seeded according to their coefficient ranking, calculated based on the following :^[1]

• 2015 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament and qualifying competition (qualifying round and elite round)
• 2016 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament and qualifying competition (qualifying round and elite round)
• 2017 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament and qualifying competition (qualifying round and elite round)
• 2018 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament and qualifying competition (qualifying round and elite round)

Each group contained one team from Pot A, one team from Pot B, one team from Pot C, and one team from Pot D. For political reasons, Russia and Ukraine and Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo would not be drawn in the same group.^[3]

The 28 first teams in the coefficient ranking qualified for League A. Teams 29–52 qualified for League B.
