The 2025 Women's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup is the 11th edition of the Women's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup, the biennial women's under-21 field hockey world championship organised by the International Hockey Federation. The tournament is held in Santiago, Chile from 1 to 13 December 2025. [1] It is the fourth time the tournament will be hosted by Santiago, Chile. [2] The tournament will feature 24 teams for the first time. [3]
24 teams will be split into six groups and four teams and play a round-robin. After the preliminary round, the teams will be ranked in their position they finished. The group winners and the two best-second placed teams advance to the quarterfinals. The four remaining second-placed teams and the four best third-ranked teams play the 9 to 16th place playoffs and the remaining teams the 17 to 24th place games. From there on, a knockout system will be used. [4]
Alongside the hosts, the 23 other teams qualify via the continental championships. [5]
Because only two teams participated in the Oceania qualifier the third quota from Oceania was reallocated to Europe, the continent of the next highest placed team in the Junior World Ranking.
