Canada women's national under-20 soccer team

The Canada U-20 women's national soccer team (also known as Canada Under-20s or Canada U-20s) represents Canada in international soccer at this age level. They are overseen by the Canadian Soccer Association, the governing body for soccer in Canada.

Its primary role is the development of players in preparation for the full women's national team. They have qualified for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup ten out of twelve, finishing runners-up in 2002. They have also competed at the CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship eleven of thirteen times, winning in back-to-back championship in 2004 and 2008 and the 2025 edition.

History Canada hosted the inaugural FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in 2002 (U-19 prior to 2006). They won silver led by future star Christine Sinclair, finishing runner-up to the United States in a close 0–1 extra time defeat. Two years later, Canada won the 2004 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, again on home soil in another final contested against the Americans. They would repeat the feat four years later in Mexico, defeating the United States to capture their second CONCACAF Women's U-20 title.

At the 2010 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, Canada lost a critical third place match to Costa Rica, eliminating them from World Cup qualification for the first time.
