The [[International Rugby Board]] (IRB) awarded the '''2007 [[Under 19 Rugby World Championship]]''' to the Irish Rugby Football Union ([[Irish Rugby Football Union|IRFU]]) and the [[Ulster Rugby|Ulster branch]] hosted it. The Tournament, which took place in [[Belfast]], [[Northern Ireland]] from 4–21 April, was split into two divisions of twelve teams. Division A games took place in Belfast at [[Belfast Harlequins]]' Deramore Park, [[Ulster Rugby]]'s [[Ravenhill Stadium]], and [[Cooke RFC]]/[[Instonians]]' Shaw's Bridge complex. Division B games were held in [[Queen's University of Belfast]]'s The Dub complex and [[Malone RFC]]'s Gibson Park in Belfast, and Bangor RFC's Upritchard Park in [[Bangor, County Down|Bangor]].

Defending champion and top seed [[Australia national rugby union team|Australia]] began its title defence against Ireland on 5 April as part of a Round One double-header at Ravenhill that also included number three seed New Zealand against France.

The seedings of all teams in Division A and the top six teams in Division B were based on the final standings at the 2006 Tournament. Seeds 7 – 12 inclusive in Division B represented teams who had qualified for 2007 via regional tournaments and their seeding was drawn randomly. All 24 participating teams were confirmed in January 2007.

This was the final Under 19 World Championship. The IRB decided to fold its under-19 and [[Under 21 Rugby World Championship|under-21]] world championships into a two-tiered under-20 tournament structure starting in 2008. The top tier, the [[World Rugby U20 Championship|IRB Junior World Championship]], will feature 16 teams, while eight teams will compete in the second-tier [[World Rugby U20 Trophy|IRB Junior World Trophy]].

<nowiki>*</nowiki> Japan was initially demoted to '''Division B''' and Italy promoted to '''Division A''' for future World Championships. However, with the creation of the [[World Rugby U20 Championship|IRB Junior World Championship]], both teams competed in [[2008 IRB Junior World Championship|its inaugural edition in 2008]]. This event featured all teams from the 2007 Division A, plus Italy, Canada, the US, and Tonga.

<nowiki>#</nowiki> Zimbabwe, Chile, Romania, Russia, Chinese Taipei and the Cook Islands were initially relegated from Division B and had to enter regional competitions to qualify for future World Championships. This did not change with the creation of the Junior World Championship and [[World Rugby U20 Trophy|IRB Junior World Trophy]]; Georgia and Uruguay were given automatic berths to the [[2008 IRB Junior World Trophy]], while remaining nations had to play in regional qualifying for the remaining six berths.
