The 2019 French Open also known as the 2019 Open de France du Jeu de Paume was the 39th edition of the real tennis French Open. The event was held at the Société Sportive du Jeu de Paume & de Racquets in Paris[1][2] between September 21 and 28, 2019, and was organised by the Comité Français de Courte-Paume, forming part of the qualifying series for the 2022 Real Tennis World Championship.[3][4] It would be the last edition of the event until 2022, with the 2020 and 2021 events being cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandmeic.

The men's doubles draw was won by Camden Riviere and John Lumley, with Lumley defending his 2018 title. The women's singles draw was won by incumbent World Champion Claire Fahey, completing a calendar year grand slam. She also won the doubles competition with Tara Lumley, with Fahey also completing a calendar year grand slam in doubles, and Lumley winning three out of four Opens in 2019.
