10 March – 3 June (finals)
The 1992 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, which spanned two years (1990–92), had 32 entrants. Malta and Israel competed for the first time. This was also the first appearance of the unified Germany team since 1964. Italy U-21s won the competition.
The competition doubled as the European qualifying stage for the Olympic Football Tournament, which until 1992 existed as a separate tournament. Hosts Spain qualify automatically and the best four eligible nations would qualify automatically. The fifth best European team would play-off against the best Oceania (OFC) team for another Olympics place. Beside the hosting Spain, teams of Scotland, England, Luxembourg and San-Marino did not take part in Olympic qualifications (not members of IOC). Teams of Northern Ireland, Wales and Faroes Islands did not take part in this competition at all.
The 32 national teams were divided into eight groups (six groups of 4 + one group of 3 + one group of 5). The group winners played off against each other on a two-legged home-and-away basis until the winner was decided. There was no finals tournament or 3rd-place playoff.
Qualifying stage
Draw
The allocation of teams into qualifying groups was based on that of UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying tournament with several changes, reflecting the absence of some nations:
- Groups 1 and 7 featured the same nations
- Group 2 did not include San Marino (moved to Group 4)
- Group 3 did not include Cyprus (moved to Group 8)
- Group 4 did not include Northern Ireland and Faroe Islands, but included San Marino (moved from Group 2)
- Group 5 did not include Wales
- Group 6 did not include Greece (moved to Group 8)
- Group 8 composed of Cyprus (moved from Group 3), Greece (moved from Group 7), Sweden and Israel (both of whom did not participate in senior Euro qualification)

semi-finals quarter-finals
Olympic qualifiers
- Denmark, Italy and Sweden as winners of their quarter-final rounds qualify for Olympic Games finals. Since the fourth winner Scotland do not compete in the Olympic Football Tournament (See Great Britain Olympic football team), Poland qualifies instead, being the best of the four quarter-final losers according to a special coefficient which is calculated based on the points achieved in the group stage and the quarter-finals, divided by the number of games played. Poland's coefficient is 1.625, while the Netherlands, Czechoslovakia and Germany have achieved a score of 1.5. The Netherlands having the best goal differential is the one of these three teams to face OFC champions in playoff for an additional place.
- Poland - 13 points/8 games played = 1.625
- Netherlands - 12 points/8 games played = 1.5 (+ goals: 22/6 = 3.67)
- Czechoslovakia - 15 points/10 games played = 1.5 (+ goals: 24/8 = 3.0)
- Germany - 9 points/6 games played = 1.5 (+ goals: 16/6 = 2.67)
