The 2019 NCAA Division I baseball tournament was a tournament of 64-teams to determine the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I national champion for the 2019 season. The 73rd annual edition of the tournament began on May 31, 2019, and concluded with the 2019 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, which started on June 15 and ended on June 26.
Summit League champion Omaha made their first appearance in the tournament.
As a result of a worldwide COVID-19 pandemic that started in late 2019 and subsequently forced the cancellation of the remainder of the 2020 season and tournament, this would be the last tournament held until 2021.
A total of 64 teams entered the 2019 tournament. 31 automatic bids were awarded to each program that won their conference's tournament or regular season. The remaining 33 bids were "at-large", with selections extended by the NCAA Selection Committee.
The Selection Committee seeded the national seeds from 1 to 16, each of whom would host their respective regional.
The selections and seedings were completed and revealed on Monday, May 27, 2019, at 12 p.m. EDT on ESPNU.
All qualifying teams were placed into 16 regional double-elimination brackets of four teams. The winners of each regional advanced to a Super Regional in a best-of-three format to advance to the College World Series.
