The Sri Lanka women's under-19 cricket team represents Sri Lanka in international under-19 women's cricket. The team is administrated by Sri Lanka Cricket (SL).

The team played their first official matches at the 2023 ICC Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup, the first-ever international women's under-19 cricket competition, in which they reached the Super Six stage.[1][2]

History

The inaugural Women's Under-19 World Cup was scheduled to take place in January 2021, but was postponed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The tournament was eventually scheduled to take place in 2023, in South Africa. As a Full Member of the ICC, Sri Lanka qualified automatically for the tournament.[4]

Sri Lanka named their 15-player squad for the tournament on 5 December 2022.[5] The side reached the Super Six stage, in which they finished fifth in their group.[2]
