The 2024 Women's U-19 World Floorball Championships was the 11th edition of the championship. The tournament was played in Lahti, Finland, from 8–12 May.[1][2]

Sweden defended their title, beating Finland 4–2 in the final.[3]

This edition broke the record for the most attended Women's U-19 World Floorball Championships. The single game record was also broken, with the final attracting 1,965 spectators.[4]

Bidding process

Finland were the only bidders. The Finns were given the hosting rights on 23 February 2021.[5][6][1]

Qualification tournament

The European qualification tournament decided the final three places at the championships. The tournament was played in Besançon, France, from 25–27 August 2023.[7] [8][9]

There were originally two spots on the line at this event but that increased to three after the United States (who had originally qualified automatically for the world championship) withdrew. France made their debut at women's U19 level.[8]

The venue for the qualifying tournament was the Montboucons Gymnasium.[10] The schedule was announced on 23 June 2023.[11]
