The Scotland national under-19 rugby union team is one of several junior national rugby union teams behind the Scottish national side.

Starting in 2008, the International Rugby Board scrapped its under-21 and under-19 world championships in favour of a single under-20 competition, the IRB Junior World Championship. Scotland accordingly replaced its under-21 and under-19 sides with a new under-20 side.

The Under 19s regularly played till 2010 before being scrapped. The age grade is still very occasionally used by Scotland.

A Scotland Under 19 match against Australia Schools was played in November 2013 and was felt to be beneficial in player development.

In July 2014, the Under 18 boss Eddie Pollock named an Under 19 squad for a double header in August 2014 against Romanian age grades. The Scotland Under 19 side played the Romania Under 19 and Romania Under 20 sides.^[1]
