The 2015 FIA Junior WRC Championship was the third season of Junior WRC, a rallying championship governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, running in support of the World Rally Championship.

The championship was open to drivers under the age of twenty-eight. All teams contested six nominated European events, out of seven rounds, with all of their scores counting towards their final championship position. The drivers competed in identical Citroën DS3 R3Ts with the 2014 homologated MAX Kit, using Michelin tyres. The winner received a programme of six rallies in Europe in a Citroën DS3 R5, competing in the 2016 WRC2 Championship.

Calendar

The final 2015 Junior WRC calendar consisted of seven European events (up from the six used in 2014), taken from the 2015 World Rally Championship.

Calendar changes

The total number of events will be seven, one higher than in 2014. Drivers still will only be able to compete on six events. Rallye Deutschland was dropped in favour of the Monte Carlo Rally and the Rally de Catalunya.

Rule changes

The identical Citroën DS3 R3T provided by Citroën Racing, will be equipped with a MAX Kit that was homologated in 2014. With the calendar elevated to seven events (up from the six of the 2014 season), drivers will have to nominate six events in which they will be able to score points. The winner will receive a programme of six rallies in Europe in a Citroën DS3 R5, competing in the 2016 WRC2 Championship.
