The 2024 World Rugby U20 Championship was the 14th edition of the premier age-grade (World Rugby Under-20 Championship) rugby union competition. The tournament was hosted in South Africa for the third time, previously being held in 2012 and 2023. Played over twenty-one days in the Western Cape locations of Stellenbosch and Cape Town, the U20 Championship features the twelve best U20 nations in the world competing for the world title.
