After being eliminated by the eventual champions Portugal in the Elite Round last year, hopes are high that the side can qualify for next year's Finals in Armenia.
The Qualifying Round sees Ireland face Bosnia & Herzegovina, Faroe Islands and the Netherlands in Longford's City Calling Stadium. Galway's Eamonn Deacy Park will also host matches in the group.
The squad include players from last year's team, and also some of the Under-17 players that reached the European Championship Quarter-Finals earlier this year.
Speaking as the squad was announced, Under-19 Head Coach Tom Mohan said he's looking forward to the three competitive matches in Longford.
"All three games will be very difficult, playing three different type of opponents. We've got to be ready for each game as it comes, but at the moment out sole focus is on Bosnia a& Herzegovina."
Both Bosnia & Herzegovina and the Netherlands both faced Colin O'Brien's Under-17s in the UEFA European Championships in England earlier this year, and Mohan knows his side will be familiar with the opposition in the coming week.
"Our lads have played against both sides before, so all three teams will be very familiar with each other."
Ireland begin their campaign on Wednesday afternoon against Bosnia & Herzegovina in Longford.
