The 2024 Women's U-19 World Floorball Championships will be the 11th edition of the championship. The tournament will be played in Lahti, Finland, and was to take place from 1–5 May, but the event dates changed to 8–12 May after a booking problem with the venue delayed the event by a week.[1][2] Sweden are the reigning champions.

Bidding process

  •  Australia (withdrew)
  •  Finland
  •  Italy (withdrew)

Finland were the only bidders. The Finns were given the hosting rights on 23 February 2021.[3][4][1]

Qualified teams

Eighteen teams entered the tournament but United States withdrew, bringing the number down to seventeen.[5] A qualifier in Besançon, France was organised between Denmark, France, Hungary and Italy to decide the final three spots.[6]
