The 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup will be the 9th edition of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, the biennial international women's youth football championship contested by the under-20 national teams of the member associations of FIFA. The tournament will be held in France, who will also host the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup a year later.
On 6 March 2014, FIFA announced that bidding had begun for the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
