The 2019 MotoE World Cup (known officially as the 2019 FIM Enel MotoE World Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the inaugural season of the MotoE World Cup for electric motorcycle racing, and was a support series of the 71st Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Road Racing World Championship season.
The season was delayed because of a fire that destroyed 18 Energica Ego Corsa motorcycles.
After six races between July and November 2019, Italian rider Matteo Ferrari from the Trentino Gresini MotoE team became the first MotoE champion.
