The 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship was the 15th edition of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship (65th edition if the Under-18 and Junior eras are included), the annual European international youth football championship contested by the men's under-19 national teams of UEFA member associations. Germany, which were selected by UEFA on 20 March 2012, hosted the tournament between 11 and 24 July 2016.{{cite news|url=https://www.uefa.com/under19/news/0257-0deb509502b0-530ed20ee025-1000--germany-greece-and-hungary-given-u19-finals/|title=Germany, Greece and Hungary given U19 finals|publisher=UEFA|date=20 March 2012}}

A total of eight teams competed in the final tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 1997 eligible to participate.

Same as previous editions held in even-numbered years, the tournament acted as the UEFA qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 World Cup. The top five teams qualified for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in South Korea as the UEFA representatives. This was decreased from the previous six teams, as FIFA decided to give one of the slots originally reserved for UEFA to the Oceania Football Confederation starting from 2017.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2015/m=9/news=fifa-executive-vows-to-improve-governance-and-boost-female-participati-2696406.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925230552/http://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2015/m=9/news=fifa-executive-vows-to-improve-governance-and-boost-female-participati-2696406.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 25, 2015|title=FIFA executive vows to improve governance and boost female participation in football|publisher=FIFA.com|date=25 September 2015}}

{{anchor|Tiebreakers}}

;Tiebreakers

The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams were equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following tie-breaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings:

  1. Higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
  2. Superior goal difference resulting from the group matches played among the teams in question;
  3. Higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;
  4. If, after having applied criteria 1 to 3, teams still had an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 were reapplied exclusively to the group matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure did not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 9 applied;
  5. Superior goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
  7. If only two teams had the same number of points, and they were tied according to criteria 1 to 6 after having met in the last round of the group stage, their rankings were determined by a penalty shoot-out (not used if more than two teams had the same number of points, or if their rankings were not relevant for qualification for the next stage).
  8. Lower disciplinary points total based only on yellow and red cards received in the group matches (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
  9. Drawing of lots.

All times were local, CEST (UTC+2).{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/OfficialDocument/competitions/General/02/35/49/02/2354902_DOWNLOAD.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160509002441/http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/OfficialDocument/competitions/General/02/35/49/02/2354902_DOWNLOAD.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 9, 2016|title=Final Match Schedule|publisher=UEFA}}

Knockout stage

In the knockout stage, extra time and penalty shoot-out were used to decide the winner if necessary.

On 2 May 2016, the UEFA Executive Committee agreed that the competition would be part of the International Football Association Board's trial to allow a fourth substitute to be made during extra time.{{cite web|title=FIFA Executive Committee approves key priorities to restore trust in FIFA|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/history/news/0253-0d81208c4f30-7f98b05b5d6c-1000--uefa-executive-committee-decisions-made/|publisher=UEFA|date=2 May 2016}} In the FIFA U-20 World Cup play-off, Michel Vlap of the Netherlands became the first ever fourth substitute, replacing Laros Duarte at half-time in extra time, followed later by Emmanuel Iyoha of Germany replacing Jannes Horn in the 110th minute.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/under19/news/0257-0dede7360730-f331f976a940-1000--history-made-as-teams-bring-on-fourth-substitutes/|title=History made as teams bring on fourth substitutes|publisher=UEFA|date=21 July 2015}}{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/TheIFAB/status/756611035314790403|title=The IFAB|publisher=Twitter|date=23 July 2016}}
