This was the first edition to adopt the under-19 format instead of previous under-18, in accordance with the modifications made by the FIVB, which changed the age category of the Girls' Youth World Championship from U18 to U19.
Only three national teams took part in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2005 eligible to participate.
Same as previous editions, the tournament acted as the CAVB qualifiers for the FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship. The top two teams qualified for the 2023 FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship in Croatia and Hungary as the CAVB representatives
Egypt won their eight title after beating the defending champions Cameroon 3–1 in the final. Both teams qualified for the 2023 FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship.
