The 2024 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup was the 9th edition of the AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup (including previous editions of the AFC U-17 Women's Championship and AFC U-16 Women's Championship), the biennial international youth football championship organised by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for the women's under-17 national teams of Asia.
It was held in Indonesia between 6–19 May 2024.[1][2] A total of eight teams competed in the tournament. This was the first continental women's football tournament hosted by Indonesia.
The top three teams of the tournament qualified for the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in the Dominican Republic as the AFC representatives. Japan were the defending champions. They were defeated in the final by North Korea, equaling Japan's record of four titles.
The host country and the top three teams of the previous tournament in 2019 qualified automatically, while the other four teams were decided by qualification. There were two rounds of qualification matches, with the first round played between 22–30 April 2023, and the second round played between 16–24 September 2023.
