The 2003 ICC Africa/East Asia-Pacific Under-19 Championship was a cricket tournament held in Namibia from 4–9 October 2003, during the 2003–04 international season. All matches were held in the capital Windhoek.

Papua New Guinea won the tournament by defeating Uganda in the final, with both teams qualifying for the 2004 Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh. Kenyan batsman Malhar Patel led the competition in runs scored, while Papua New Guinea's William Harry and Uganda's Patrick Ochan took the most wickets.

The tournament was jointly organised by the African Cricket Association (ACA) and ICC East Asia-Pacific (EAP), the first time such an arrangement had occurred. Eight teams (six African and two EAP) participated, divided into two pools for the group stages. Another joint tournament was held in 2005, for the 2006 World Cup, but separate qualifying tournaments have been held since then – the ICC Africa Under-19 Championships and the EAP Under-19 Cricket Trophy.

Teams and qualification

Both the African and the East Asia-Pacific regional governing bodies hosted qualifiers for the first time for the 2002 Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand. The 2001 Africa Under-19 Championship featured five teams, two of which (East and Central Africa and West Africa) were put up by regional bodies disbanded in 2003 (the East and Central Africa Cricket Conference and the West Africa Cricket Council).[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/Tables/5/Africa_Under-19_Championship_2000-01.html Africa Under-19 Championship 2000/01 Table] – CricketArchive. Retrieved 9 February 2015. The 2001 EAP Under-19 Trophy featured three teams, one of which (Hong Kong) was a member of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), and consequently not generally a participant in EAP tournaments.[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/Tables/4/East_Asia-Pacific_Under-19_Championship_2001-02.html East Asia-Pacific Under-19 Championship 2001/02 Table] – CricketArchive.
