The 2021 Rugby Europe U20 Championship was the fourth edition of the tournament. It took place in Coimbra, Portugal between 7–13 November. The competition consisted of eight teams and was a direct eliminations tournament (knock-out matches) with classification matches. All the teams played three matches during the competition. Spain defeated Portugal 15–9 to win the Under 20 Championship.[1][2][3] Czechia and Poland had qualified for the U20 Championship in a qualifier that included Switzerland in the 2019/2020 season.[4]

The tournament was scheduled for March 2020 but was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6]
