The 2019 Inter-Provincial Trophy was the seventh edition of the Inter-Provincial Trophy, a Twenty20 cricket competition played in Ireland. It was held from 22 June to 18 August 2019.[1] It was the third edition of the competition to be played with full Twenty20 status. The competition was split into two halves, each branded as a T20 Festival. The first half was played in June, and the second half was played in August.[2][3] Leinster Lightning were the defending champions.[4]

Following the conclusion of the June festival, Northern Knights had won all three of their matches,[5] however, two matches were abandoned due to rain.[6] All of the matches in the August festival were abandoned due to rain, with no play taking place across all three days.[7] As a result, the Northern Knights won the tournament.[8][9]
