The 1970 ABC Junior Championship for Women was the women's division of the inaugural edition of the Asian Basketball Confederation (ABC)'s junior championship or the Asian Youth Basketball Championship. The games were held at the Jangchung Arena in Seoul, South Korea from August 25–September 2, 1970. The age restriction was under 19.[1]

Only three nations participated; nevertheless, the hosts South Korea won the inaugural championship by sweeping all of their assignments, defeating Japan and Taiwan twice. Japan and Taiwan were tied with win–loss record of 1–3, but Japan took second place by head-to-head records.[2]
