The 2025 UNCAF Women's U-19 Tournament (Spanish: Torneo Femenino Sub-19 UNCAF 2025) was the second edition of the UNCAF Women's U-19 Tournament, the biennial international FIFA's sponsored women's youth football tournament contested by the under-19 national teams of the member associations of the Central American Football Union. The tournament was contested by six teams from January 16 to 22, 2025 in Panama City, Panama.

El Salvador were the defending champions, having won the 2023 edition.[1] but failed to defend their title after failing to qualify for the final.[2] Host and last edition's silver medalist Panama won their first title by defeating Nicaragua 3–0 in the final.[3][4]

Participating teams

Initially, all seven UNCAF member nations were scheduled to participate in the tournament. However, Belize, originally drawn into Group A, withdrew before the competition began.[5]
