The 2015 ICC Under-19 World Cup Qualifier was an international cricket tournament played in Malaysia from 14 to 22 October 2015, forming part of the 2015–16 international season.[1] The tournament was originally going to be held in Nepal, but was moved to Malaysia due to the April 2015 earthquake.[2] Nepal defeated Ireland in the tournament final to qualify for the 2016 Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh. In January 2016, Australia withdrew their team from the World Cup and Ireland, as runners-up in the qualifier, replaced them.[3]
The second-placed teams at each of the five regional qualifying tournaments progressed to the qualifier:
