The 2025 World Rugby U20 Championship (Italian: Campionato mondiale giovanile 2025), also known as Italia 2025, is the 15th edition of the premier age-grade (World Rugby Under-20 Championship) rugby union competition. It is to be held from 29 June to 19 July in Italy, being hosted in the cities of Viadana, Calvisano, Verona and Rovigo. The country has previously hosted the age-grade Championship twice before: 2011 and 2015. Italy were also confirmed to host the 2020 edition, but the tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The championship will feature twelve teams, eleven of which are ranked based on their performance in the previous edition of the tournament (2024), with the twelfth being 2024 World Rugby Under 20 Trophy winners Scotland, who returns to the Championship having been relegated in 2019. Scotland replaced Fiji who were relegated after finishing twelfth in 2024.
England are defending champions, whom defeated France 21–13 in the 2024 final.
