The 2019 OFC U-19 Women's Championship was the 9th edition of the OFC U-19/U-20 Women's Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the women's under-19/under-20 national teams of Oceania. The tournament was held in the Cook Islands from 30 August to 12 September 2019.

The winner of the tournament would have qualified for the 2021 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (originally 2020 but postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic) in Costa Rica as the OFC representatives. However, FIFA announced on 17 November 2020 that this edition of the World Cup would be cancelled.
