The girls' football tournament at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics took place at the Wutaishan Stadium and the Jiangning Sports Center, both located in Nanjing, China, between 14–26 August 2014.
Each match lasted 80 minutes, consisting of two periods of 40 minutes, with an interval of 15 minutes.
One team from each continental confederation participated in the tournament. The same country may not participate in both the boys' and girls' tournament. As hosts, China was given Asia's spot to compete in the girls' tournament (and thus could not participate in the boys' tournament). Teams may qualify through preliminary competitions, or be nominated for participation by their confederation, with the invited teams ratified by FIFA during their meeting in Zürich on 3–4 October 2013.
Players must be 15 years old (born between 1 January and 31 December 1999) to be eligible to participate. Each team consisted of 18 players (two of whom must be goalkeepers).
A total of six referees and twelve assistant referees were appointed by FIFA for the tournament.
