The Afghanistan national under-19 cricket team (Pashto: د افغانستان ۱۹ کلنو لوبډله) represents the country of Afghanistan in under-19 international cricket.
Afghanistan has qualified for the Under-19 Cricket World Cup on seven occasions. The team's first tournament was the 2010 World Cup in New Zealand, which they reached by finishing runner-up to Ireland in the 2009 World Cup Qualifier. Afghanistan has qualified for every subsequent World Cup. Although the team placed 16th and last in its first tournament in 2010, it rapidly became one of the leading under-19 teams in Asia. Afghanistan finished seventh at the 2014 World Cup in the UAE, setting a new record for the best finish by an ICC associate member (equalled by Namibia in 2016). After becoming an ICC full member, Afghanistan reached the semi-finals of the 2018 Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand.
Outside of the Under-19 World Cup, Afghanistan participates in the annual ACC Under-19 Cup. The team won the tournament in 2017, defeating Pakistan in the final. Afghanistan also plays occasional bilateral series against other Asian under-19 teams.
Afghanistan had qualified for 2014 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. They were drawn against Australia, Bangladesh & Namibia in group B who they beat, qualifying for Super league, where they lost to South Africa. They finished tournament well by securing 7th position.
