The present disclosure relates to an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) launch and recovery device driven by an elastic linkage mechanism for an extra-large unmanned underwater vehicle (XLUUV). The AUV launch and recovery device includes a hydraulic device, a push plate and a tubular device box, where the tubular device box adopts a frame-type tubular structure with a closed end; the push plate is fixed to a hydraulic rod, the hydraulic rod is controlled to stretch, and furthermore, the push plate is controlled to radially slide in a groove; and as the push plate is controlled to move radially, an inner diameter of a ring part of the inelastic linkage rope is narrowed or enlarged, so that inelastic hauling ropes are pulled to move axially, and the front end of the elastic rubber plates is further pulled to achieve an expanding or contracting state of an recovery/launch opening.
