The 2015 ICC Americas Under-19 Championship was an international cricket tournament held in Bermuda, from 5 to 11 July 2015. It was the eighth edition of the ICC Americas Under-19 Championship, and the first held in Bermuda since the inaugural tournament in 2001.

Contents

Canada won the title for a fifth time, finishing the tournament undefeated to qualify directly for the 2016 Under-19 World Cup. The United States were the runner-up, finishing ahead of Bermuda on net run rate to proceed to the 2015 World Cup Qualifier, where the winner will also qualify for the World Cup. The tournament was originally going to involve a fourth team, Suriname, which would have been making its maiden appearance. However, Suriname withdrew from the tournament after failing to secure transit visas for its players. [1]

Teams

The 2015 tournament was originally going to feature four teams, one more than the previous tournament in Canada. [2] Suriname, which withdrew, qualified by winning the 2014 Division Two tournament, [3] and would have made its tournament debut, with teams at the tournament being the same as at the senior-level 2015 Americas Twenty20 Championship in Indiana. [4] Because of the lateness of Suriname's withdrawal, the Division Two runner-up, Argentina, was unable to be invited as a replacement. [1]
