2018/19 UEFA Regions' Cup qualifying draw

The UEFA Regions' Cup, Europe's top competition for amateur players, returns for 2018/19 with 39 nations discovering the fate of their eventual representatives in the preliminary and intermediate round draws.

Making the draw was Ken Hoey, captain of the 2017 Republic of Ireland Region 2  team in the finals in Istanbul, who received the Respect Fair Play prize from UEFA General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis on behalf of his team. The 2017 edition was won by Zagreb of Croatia.

• In all cases national qualifiers will be held to decide the representatives for each association. San Marino and Malta enter national amateur teams rather than regional selections.

Group B (5–11 June/hosts tbc): Romania, Slovenia, Georgia, Scotland
