The South African Under-19 cricket team have been playing official Under-19 test matches since 1995. International players to have represented the team include Wayne Parnell, Neil McKenzie, AB de Villiers, Mark Boucher, Makhaya Ntini, Kagiso Rabada, Andile Phehlukwayo and Aiden Markram, all of whom went on to play for South Africa. They won the Under-19 Cricket World Cup in 2014 and finished runner-up in both 2002 and 2008.

In February 2021, Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced that the team would take part in South Africa's Provincial first-class and List A cricket tournaments, starting with the 2020–21 CSA 3-Day Provincial Cup and the 2020–21 CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge respectively.[2][3] However, the matches played by the under-19 team in those tournaments did not have first-class or List A status.[4]
