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. As they were the only ICC Associate member in the Americas region that met the Event Pathway Participation Criteria, the United States qualified automatically for the tournament.[1]

The United States played their first series in August 2022, against the West Indies, winning the series 4–1.[4] They announced their squad for the 2023 World Cup on December 14, 2022, with Shivnarine Chanderpaul announced as Head Coach of the side.[5] The side finished bottom of the initial group stage at the tournament, and lost a subsequent play-off against Scotland.[2]
