Canada hosted the inaugural
FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in
2002 (U-19 prior to 2006). They won silver led by future star
Christine Sinclair, finishing runner-up to the
United States in a close 0–1 extra time defeat. Two years later, Canada won the
2004 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, again on home soil in another final contested against the Americans. They would repeat the feat four years later in
Mexico, defeating the United States to capture their second CONCACAF Women's U-20 title. At the
2010 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, Canada lost a critical third place match to
Costa Rica, eliminating them from World Cup qualification for the first time. ==Fixtures and results==
