The 2024 IFAF World Junior Championship (7th) was an international American football tournament for junior teams (20 years and under). The competition was co-hosted by Football Canada and Football Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta in June 2024.[1] Although Football Canada had won the most IFAF World Junior Championships with three prior to the tournament, the country has not hosted the event since it started in 2009.

In November 2023, IFAF announced that nine nations qualified for the tournament:[2]

A tentative qualification fixture was scheduled for February 2024 with  Brazil and  Panama to determine the top South American qualifier.

On 22 January 2024 the Edmonton Local Organizing committee announced that Canada, United States, Japan, Austria, Australia, Panama, Brazil and a undetermined team had stated their intention to compete June 20-30.[3] [4] [5] The eventual additional team would be a "B team" from Canada known as Canada II.
