The Rugby Europe Under-20 Championship is an annual rugby union championship for Under-20 national teams. It replaced the Under-19 championship that was held since 2007. The championship is organised by rugby's European governing body, the Rugby Europe.

The tournament serves as Europe's qualification to the next year's World Rugby U20 Trophy organised by the World Rugby.
