Main article: 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Championship

2010 UEFA European Under-19 Championship (Elite Round) was the second round of qualifications for the final tournament of 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. The 28 teams that advanced from the qualifying round were distributed into seven groups of four teams each, with each group contested in a round-robin format, with one of the four teams hosting all six group games. The seven group-winning teams automatically qualified for the final tournament in France.

Pot A	Pot B	Pot C	Pot D
Italy  Norway  Serbia  Portugal  England  Netherlands  Croatia	Russia  Turkey  Ukraine   Switzerland  Hungary  Germany  Scotland	Belgium  Czech Republic  Republic of Ireland  Spain  Denmark  Slovakia  Romania	Greece  Austria  Azerbaijan  Bosnia and Herzegovina  Northern Ireland  Poland  Montenegro

The hosts of the seven one-venue mini-tournament groups are indicated below in italics.

The matches were played between 14 April–31 May 2010.

Tiebreaker rules for qualification groups

Per uefa.com^[1] the criteria used to rank two or more teams even on points are:

1. Points earned in head-to-head matches
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches
4. Goal difference in all group matches
5. Goals scored in all group matches
6. Drawing of lots

• If head-to-head criteria eliminate one team from a three- or four-way tie, then revert to the first step with the remaining teams.
• If two teams are tied and play against each other in their last group match, then penalty kicks will be used instead of the criteria listed above.
