= Introduction =
Since it adopted its current format in 2002, the Iceland under-19s have failed to qualify for the UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship. As of 2011, their best qualifying campaign performances came in 2007 and 2008, when they qualified for the second, or 'elite', qualification stage.
In the qualifying campaign for the 2007 tournament, the team finished joint second place in the elite qualification stage behind the Spain under-19s, who went on to win the tournament.{{cite news|url=http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/under19/history/season=2007/round=2253/group=2729.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120710152015/http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/under19/history/season=2007/round=2253/group=2729.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=10 July 2012|title=Elite qualifying stage results 2006–07|access-date=25 July 2011|publisher=Uefa.com}}{{cite news| url= https://www.rsssf.org/tablese/ec-u19-07.html| title = Elite qualifying stage tables, 2007 U-19 European Championships|access-date=25 July 2011|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation}} In 2008, the Iceland under-19s recorded elite stage victories against the Norway under-19s and the Israel under-19s, but again finished in second place. On that occasion the group winners were the Bulgaria under-19s.{{cite news|url=http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/under19/history/season=2008/round=15035/group=700215.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120718180658/http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/under19/history/season=2008/round=15035/group=700215.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 July 2012|title=Elite qualifying stage results 2007–08|access-date=25 July 2011|publisher=Uefa.com}}{{cite news| url= https://www.rsssf.org/tablese/ec-u19-08.html| title = Elite qualifying stage tables, 2008 U-19 European Championships|access-date=25 July 2011|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation}}
In the 2011 qualification campaign, Iceland finished third in group 1 of the first qualifying stage. Their only points came in a 4–0 victory over the Kazakhstan under-19s, who finished bottom in fourth place.{{cite news| url= https://www.uefa.com/under19/standings/round=2000081/group=2000634/| title = 2011 UEFA under-19 European Championships: Group 1 final standings|access-date=25 July 2011|publisher=Uefa.com}}{{cite news| url= https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2010/10/20/europe/uefa-u19-championship/iceland-under-19/kazakhstan-under-19/1020507/| title = Under-19 result: Iceland 4–0 Kazakhstan|date=20 October 2010|access-date=25 July 2011|publisher=soccerway.com}}
