The final round of the 18th European Women's Under-19 Football Championship was held in Israel in 2015 . It was UEFA's first women's football tournament in Israel. Eight teams competed against each other first in a group stage in two groups and then in the knockout system . Players born on January 1, 1996 or later were eligible to play.

This tournament also served as qualification for the four final round places that UEFA was entitled to at the U-20 World Cup in Papua New Guinea in 2016 and which were occupied by the four semi-finalists.

mode

At the final round, the eight teams formed two groups of four teams each. In the group stage, each team within the group played once against each other. There were three points for a win and one point for a draw. After the preliminary round matches, the group winners and runners-up qualified for the semi-finals.

If several teams had equal points in the group matches, the positions were initially determined based on the larger number of points from the direct encounters . If this was the same, first the goal difference and then the number of goals scored in the direct matches are compared. If two or more teams were still tied, the next criteria were the goal difference from all games and then the total number of goals scored. The last criterion was the fair play rating .

From the semi-finals onwards, the tournament was continued in the knockout system . Games that draw ended after regular time were to ten minutes twice extended . If no winner was found after extra time, the decision was sought on penalties . The regular playing time for all games was 45 minutes twice.

qualification

1 round

Israel was automatically qualified to host. Germany (record winners), England and France ( 2013 winners ) received a wildcard for the second qualifying round as the teams in the top three places of the UEFA rankings. The remaining 44 registered national teams were divided into eleven groups of four teams each on November 20, 2013.

The games took place in the form of mini-tournaments between September 13 and 18, 2014, whereby it was previously determined that if Georgia and Russia were drawn into a group, the tournament of that group would not take place in Georgia or Russia. However, this did not happen.

At the draw on November 20, 2013, Switzerland and Austria were drawn together with Slovakia and Bulgaria in group 11. Bulgaria hosted the mini-tournament from September 13-18, 2014.

The group winners and the 10 best runners-up in the group automatically reached the second qualifying round. The 21 teams plus Germany, England and France were divided into six groups of four teams each for the second qualifying round.

2nd round

In this qualification phase (elite round), which was drawn on November 19, 2014 in Nyon and in which four teams each played a simple point round between April 4 and 9, 2015, the following group division was made (the respective hosts are in bold) . The six group winners and the group runner-up with the best record against the respective group first and third qualified alongside hosts Israel for the final from July 15 to 27, 2015.

The venues in the "German group" were Forst and Schwetzingen .

In Group 4 there was a repetition of the match between Norway and England on the evening of the last match day - but only for the last few minutes, because in the first game (final score 2: 1) the German referee Marija Kurtes had committed a rule violation by during stoppage time did not allow the English women to repeat an incorrectly converted penalty. The "catching up minutes" began with the repeated execution of this penalty, which this time was converted according to the rules. With this 2-2, the British qualified for the European Championship finals, but Norway also achieved this as the best runners-up in the group.
