The 2015 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship will be the 8th edition of the CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by CONCACAF for the women's under-20 national teams of the North, Central American and Caribbean region. The tournament will be hosted by Honduras and take place between 3–13 December 2015, as announced by CONCACAF on 7 May 2015.[1] A total of eight teams will play in the tournament.
Same as previous editions, the tournament acts as the CONCACAF qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. The top three teams of the tournament will qualify for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea as the CONCACAF representatives.[2]
Qualification
The eight berths were allocated to the three regional zones as follows:[1]
- Three teams from the North American Zone (NAFU), i.e., Canada, Mexico and the United States, who all qualified automatically
- Two teams from the Central American Zone (UNCAF), including Honduras who qualified automatically as hosts
- Three teams from the Caribbean Zone (CFU)
Regional qualification tournaments were held to determine the four teams joining Canada, Mexico, the United States, and hosts Honduras at the final tournament.
Qualified teams
The following eight teams qualified for the final tournament.

The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals. The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers are applied in the following order:[8]
- Goal difference in all group matches;
- Greatest number of goals scored in all group matches;

All times are local, CST (UTC−6).[9]
The two matches originally scheduled on 5 December 2015 (Jamaica vs Canada and Trinidad and Tobago vs Honduras) were postponed due to heavy rain.[10] As a result, all subsequent group matches were delayed by a day and relocated to the Escuela Internacional Sampedrana in San Pedro Sula.[11]
