South American U-20 Women's Championship

The South American Under-20 Women's Football Championship (Spanish: Campeonato Sudamericano Sub-20 Femenino), officially the CONMEBOL Sub20 Femenina, is an international association football competition for women's national teams.

It is held every two years for South American players under the age of 20 and serves as a qualification tournament for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.

For the 2002 and 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship, South America was given one qualification spot.

In 2002 Brazil and Peru played a two legged play-off for one spot allocated to South America.
