The 2019 BDO World Trophy was a major darts tournament run by the British Darts Organisation. It was held between 30 August and 1 September 2019 at King George's Hall, Blackburn, England.[1]
Glen Durrant and Fallon Sherrock were the defending champions, after beating Michael Unterbuchner (10–7) and Lorraine Winstanley (6–3) respectively in the finals of last year's edition. However, Durrant was unable to defend his title after his switch to the PDC, while Sherrock lost 4–3 to Mikuru Suzuki in the first round.
Jim Williams claimed his maiden major title by beating Richard Veenstra 8–6 in the men's final, while Lisa Ashton won her third World Trophy after a 6–2 win over Anastasia Dobromyslova in the women's final.
