The PDC Unicorn Youth World Championship is a PDC tournament played for the first time in 2010. The PDC lanced the tournament after Barry Hearn's takeover offer to the BDO was turned down and it was called into question that Hearn would support Youth and Ladies the same as the BDO does.

Participate can all players who will be between 16 and 21 years old at the deadline.
Beside a price money of 10 000 pound for the winner and 5 000 pound for the runner up both finalists are invited to the Grand Slam and get a Pro Tour Card.

To play the qualifiers and the tournament is open for all young players and no contract with the PDC has to be signed.
