The '''IAAF U18 Championships in Athletics''' (until 2015 known as '''IAAF World Youth Championships in Athletics''')<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.iaaf.org/news/press-release/iaaf-world-u18-championships-nairobi-2017-30|title=IAAF WORLD U18 CHAMPIONSHIPS NAIROBI 2017 – 30 DAYS TO GO|publisher=iaaf.org|quote=Today marks 30 days to go until the IAAF World U18 Championships Nairobi 2017, the 10th edition of the biennial event which this year takes place in the Kenyan capital.|date=12 June 2017|access-date=11 July 2017}}</ref> was a global [[Sport of athletics|athletics]] event comprising [[track and field]] events for competitors who were 17 or younger ([[Under-18 athletics|youth]] = [[Under-18 athletics|Under-18]]). The event was organized by [[World Athletics|International Association of Athletics Federations]] (IAAF). It was held biennially from 1999 to 2017.

==The name change and cancellation==
In the 206th IAAF Council Meeting, held after the [[2016 Summer Olympics]], the council decided to conclude the world championship for under-18 athletes after the 2017 event. The decision was made with the intention of improving under-18 competitions at continental level instead.<ref>[https://www.iaaf.org/download/download?filename=616ad3fb-d1a8-48d8-952b-4c64fc80834c.pdf&urlSlug=competitions-update-200816 Competitions Update] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160827073202/https://www.iaaf.org/download/download?filename=616ad3fb-d1a8-48d8-952b-4c64fc80834c.pdf&urlSlug=competitions-update-200816 |date=27 August 2016 }}. IAAF. Retrieved on 2016-08-21.</ref> The competition was renamed to the '''IAAF World U18 Championships''' in November 2015, though ultimately only the 2017 competition used this title.

The competition was the under-18 counterpart to the [[IAAF World Junior Championships in Athletics|World U20 Championships]], which are for athletes who are 19 years of age or under in the year of competition.
