The CONMEBOL Sub 20 Femenina is a South American football tournament organized by the CONMEBOL for South American national teams of women under age of 20. It serves as a qualification tournament for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. The first edition was for players under the age of 19.

The last edition was held in 2026 in Paraguay. Brazil has won all the competitions with 11 titles in total.

For the 2002 and 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship, South America was given one qualification spot. In 2002 Brazil and Peru played a two legged play-off for one spot allocated to South America. Brazil won 12–0 on aggregate.^[1] Since 2006 South America has been given two spots for the now-renamed FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, and then four spots since 2024. In this tournament, Brazil has reached the third-place match four times (lost it in 2002 and 2004; won it in 2006 and 2022) and Colombia reached the third-place match in 2010 and lost it. Argentina has been eliminated from the group stage in three of their appearances (2006, 2008 and 2012) and in the round of 16 in 2024; Chile (2008), Venezuela (2016 and 2024) and Paraguay (2014, 2018 and 2024) were eliminated from the group stage in all of their appearances. Ecuador qualified for the first time in 2026.
