The PDC World Youth Championship is a darts tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation, for darts players aged between 14 and 21. The tournament was introduced in 2010 as the PDC Under-21 World Championship, and is sponsored by darts manufacturer Unicorn.

The whole tournament will not be broadcast live on TV but the final will take place before the final of the Premier League Darts, which will be shown live on Sky Sports.[1] The two finalists will become PDC Pro Tour card holders for two years and receive sponsorship from Rileys Dart Zones. They will also receive invitations to the Grand Slam of Darts.[2]

The inaugural final was won by Arron Monk, who defeated Michael van Gerwen on January 3, 2011.[3]
