The Canada national under-20 rugby union team is the junior national side of Canada in rugby union. It was created in 2008 to replace the two former age grade teams, the under 19s and the under 21s, when the International Rugby Board moved to a single Junior World Championship. Canada played in that championship in Wales in 2008 and in Japan in 2009, finishing twelfth and then fourteenth, and was relegated to the Junior World Rugby Trophy from 2010. In the Trophy it reached the fifth place playoff in 2010 and 2011. In 2012 the squad prepared with a series of matches against fellow under-20 national teams from Romania and the United States at Shawnigan Lake School in British Columbia.
