Round 1 of the 2023/24 UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship runs from 24 October, beginning the road to next July's final tournament in Lithuania.
League A consists of 28 teams, including holders Spain and the seven sides promoted from League B after round 2 of the 2022/23 edition. The teams compete in seven groups, played as single-venue mini-tournaments; sides finishing fourth will be relegated to League B for round 2 of 2023/24, with the other positions deciding League A seeding for that round.
The 23 teams in League B include sides relegated from League A in 2022/23 round 2, as well as debut WU19 entrants Luxembourg. They will compete for promotion to League A in six groups, five of four sides and the other with three. The group winners and runners-up with the best record against the teams first and third in their section will be promoted. Lithuania will take part, although their finals place is assured as hosts.
The seven teams joining Lithuania in the 2024 finals from 15 to 27 July will be decided by round 2 League A.
