The Nordic–Baltic Under-23 Athletics Championships (Norwegian: Nordisk-Baltisk U23-mesterskap i friidrett) is an annual outdoor combined track and field events competition for athletes under-20 from the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) – and the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania). It is typically held over two days in July or August in even-numbered years. Athletes must be 22 years of age or younger by December 31 of the year the championship is held. The hosting of the event is currently limited to the Nordic nations.^[1]

The competition was first held in 1998 as the Nordic Under-23 Athletics Championships, The organisers trialled the involvement of athletes from the Baltic states in 2008 and 2010 before making this a permanent arrangement and including them in the competition name.^[2]

The event programme includes six individual track running events, three obstacle events, four jumping events, four throwing events, and two relay events for each sex. Competing nations may enter three athletes per individual event, with the host nation being able to enter a further two wildcard athletes per event. Nations may enter only one team per relay event. Where the number of entries exceeds eight athletes in a track event, then multiple finals are held, with the results of each race being combined for the final placings.^[1]
