The 2025 ACC Men's Under-19 Premier Cup was the second edition of the ACC Men's Under-19 Premier Cup, organized by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). Serving as the final qualifying event for the 2025 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup, the tournament provided a crucial pathway for associate nations to compete at the highest level of youth cricket in the region.[1] It was hosted by the United Arab Emirates from 21 November to 1 December 2025.
The tournament was contested by fourteen teams divided into four groups, followed by a knockout stage with all the matches played in Ajman, across four venues: the Seven Districts Ground, the Karwan Cricket Ground, the Seven Districts Ground 2, and the Royal Cricket Ground.[2] The winner, the runner-up, and the winner of the third-place playoff match qualified for the 2025 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup. There, they joined the five full members of the ACC: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
Nepal entered the tournament as the defending champions, having secured the title in the previous edition (2023). They had defeated the UAE by 19 runs under the DLS method in a rain-affected final held in Malaysia.[3] The tournament’s knockout stage concluded its semi-finals on 29 November, with Nepal and the UAE advancing to the final, thereby securing two of the three available qualification berths for the U19 Asia Cup.[4]
