History

The inaugural Women's Under-19 World Cup was scheduled to take place in January 2021, but was postponed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The tournament was eventually scheduled to take place in 2023, in South Africa. Scotland competed in the Europe Qualifier for the tournament in August 2022, which consisted of a three-match series against the Netherlands. They won all three of the matches to qualify for the 2023 Under-19 World Cup.[1]

Scotland announced their squad for the tournament on 12 December 2022, with Peter Ross announced as Head Coach of the side.[4] At the tournament, they lost all three of their matches in the first group stage, although they did beat the United States in a subsequent play-off.[2] [5]
