The 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Championship began on 15 June 2009 and was the 17th UEFA European Under-21 Championship. This was the first tournament after the competition reverted to a two-year format following the single-year 2006-07 competition which allowed the change to odd-numbered years. Sweden hosted the final tournament in June 2009; therefore their under-21 team qualified automatically.
