With the 2006 UEFA European Under-19 Championship hosted on home soil, the tournament started badly for Poland, with a demoralizing 0–1 loss to Austria. However, the players roused themselves for their crucial second fixture and registered a convincing 4–1 victory over Belgium. A semi-final berth was at stake in the final group fixture against the Czech Republic, but the hopes of qualifying for the final four evaporated in a 0–2 defeat to the Czechs. The Poles had done enough to secure a third-place finish in Group A, and with it, a ticket to the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Being the host of the tournament, Poland automatically qualified. With an inexperienced youth squad, having previously unable to qualify for any major U-19 European Championship and only competed in much smaller Under 20 Elite League, Poland put the tournament with pressure. They were grouped with Colombia, Senegal and Tahiti.

Poland managed to finish third in their group, after managing a lone 5–0 win over Tahiti and holding Senegal goalless draw, previously lost 0–2 to Colombia. This helped Poland to qualify to the round of sixteen, where they were unfortunate to face juggernaut Italy. Despite its resistance, Poland still lost by a penalty, thus for the second time Poland was eliminated from the round of sixteen.

The following is a list of match results from the last 12 months, as well as any future matches that have been scheduled.
