The 2024 World Rugby U20 Championship was the 14th edition of the premier age-grade (World Rugby Under-20 Championship) rugby union competition. The tournament was hosted in South Africa for the third time, previously being held in 2012 and 2023.[1] Played over twenty-one days in the Western Cape locations of Stellenbosch and Cape Town, the U20 Championship features the twelve best U20 nations in the world competing for the world title.[2]

The defending champions were France whom had won the previous three tournaments back-to-back.[3]

England won the competition defeating France in the final, 21–13.[4][5][6] Going into the tournament, the two finallists had met each other earlier in the year (March 2024) at the 2024 U20 Six Nations Championship.[4] England had also won that fixture, 31–45.[7][8]

France had won the past three completed tournaments in a sequence stretching back to 2018, the year that they overcame a side featuring Marcus Smith and Ben Curry in Béziers. This was England's first appearance in a decider since that game six years ago. Champions of the Under-20 Six Nations earlier this season, they had reached the decider by ousting Argentina, Fiji, South Africa and Ireland.
