The IBU Junior Cup in biathlon has been held since the winter seasons of 2015–16 for women and men, 21 y.o and under respectively.[1]
Participation
In the IBU Junior Cup, juniors men and women, and youth men and women competitors are eligible to participate, provided they compete in the junior class and meet the requirements for junior competition. Each IBU member federation can register and enroll five male and five female athletes for the competition. The host nation and countries that ranked in the top ten in the nation's cup of the previous season's World Cup, IBU Cup, or Junior Cup are allowed to additionally register two male and two female athletes.[2]
Events
Each IBU member federation has the opportunity to apply for hosting Junior IBU Cups. Preferred locations for the events are those with an IBU license, but venues without a license are also considered.
Each event should include two to three competitions, such as individual, sprint, pursuit, and relay. Regional cups within the framework of the IBU Junior Cup may also take place simultaneously, but in such cases, junior athletes have priority over participants in the regional cup.
Venues
Only four IBU Cups are organized each season, with the last cup being recognized as the Junior European Championship. Additionally, the results of the Junior World Championships contribute to the overall rankings.[3]

Scoring system
The tables given below provide an overview of the highest-ranking biathletes and nations of each IBU Junior Cup season. For each event, a first place gives 60 points, a 2nd place – 54 pts, a 3rd place – 48 pts, a 4th place – 43 pts, a fifth place – 40 pts, a 6th place – 38 pts, 7th – 36 pts, 8th – 34 points, 9th – 32 points, 10th – 31 points, then linearly decreasing by one point down to the 40th place. Equal placings (ties) give an equal number of points. The sum of all IBU Junior Cup points of the season, less the points from an IBU-predetermined number of events (e.g. 2), gives the biathlete's total IBU Junior Cup score.
