The 2019 Champions Trophy was the 3rd edition of the Champions Trophy. It was held at the Royal Tennis Court from 15 to 21 July.[1][2] It was a qualifying event for the 2022 Real Tennis World Championship. It would be the last Champions Trophy held until 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The tournament was won by incumbent World Champion Robert Fahey. It was his first victory in the tournament, having lost in the semi finals of his only other participation in 2018. John Lumley was the runner-up for the first time, later going on to win the 2023 edition.
