The 2022 ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup was an international limited-overs cricket tournament that was held in the West Indies in January and February 2022 with sixteen teams taking part.[1] It was the fourteenth edition of the Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup, and the first that was held in the West Indies.[1] Bangladesh were the defending champions.[2]

In March 2021, Cricket West Indies confirmed that the format would be the same as previous editions, with teams competing to progress to the Plate and Super League phases of the tournament.[3] In November 2021, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed the full schedule for the tournament, with matches played in Antigua and Barbuda, Guyana, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad; the final was played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua and Barbuda.[4][5] New Zealand decided to withdraw from the tournament due to the extensive mandatory quarantine restrictions for minors on their return home and Scotland won a wildcard to replace the country,[6] with Scotland named as their replacement.[7]

England became the first team to reach the final of the tournament, after they beat Afghanistan by 15 runs in the first Super League semi-final match.[8] It was the first time that England had reached the final of the Under-19 Cricket World cup since winning the 1998 tournament in South Africa.[9] In the second semi-final, India beat Australia by 96 runs,[10] progressing to their fourth consecutive Under-19 Cricket World Cup final.[11]

Australia beat Afghanistan in the final playoff match of the tournament to finish in third place.[12] In the final, India beat England by four wickets to win their fifth Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[13] Dewald Brevis of South Africa was named the Player of the Tournament, after scoring 506 runs.[14]
