The Sierra Leone Under-19 cricket team represents the country of Sierra Leone in Under-19 international cricket. Emmanuel Pessima is the all times runs scorer of the Sierra Leone U-19 Cricket Team and also the only Batsman that has given the team over 61 runs not out

Sierra Leone have only competed internationally at Under-19 level for the last couple of years but have already been very successful, qualifying in 2009 for the 2009 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup Qualifier.[1] Unfortunately, due to visa reasons, Sierra Leone were unable to make it to Canada for the event and so missed out on the chance to qualify for the World Cup.[2] They are also in a minority of affiliate cricket nations who field an Under-19 side.

Most recently, Sierra Leone participated in the 2010 ICC Africa Under-19 Championships.
