The Under-21 World Cup is a spinoff tournament of the World Cup which involves only players under the age of 21 years. It is held in Total n Utter Insanity every four years, usually just before the main World Cup.

The tournament was initially designed partly as a testing ground for the RPR ranking and RP bonus system created by Total n Utter Insanity, and ever since it has become known for its innovative approach to scorination, incorporating tactical variations for each team. With many teams opting for extreme attacking formations - scientists in Kaze Progressa once cloned their famous striker Faiwe Irafma over twenty times and made each of the clones teenagers, using this as their Under-21 team - goals are never far away and ten goals in a game - which has only ever happened once in World Cup competition (in Rejistania's 10-1 defeat of Ravea in qualifying for WC17) - is quite common in this tournament.
