The 2019 Pakistan Cup was the fourth edition of the Pakistan Cup, a List A cricket competition which was contested by five teams. It was held from 2 to 12 April 2019, with all the matches played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) stated that the top performers in the tournament would be considered for the 2019 Cricket World Cup in England.
Federal Areas, the defending champions, were eliminated from the competition after losing their first three matches of the tournament. On 9 April 2019, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa beat Sindh by nine runs to advance to the final of the tournament. The result meant that Baluchistan also progressed to the final, regardless of the outcome of their last match against Federal Areas. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa won the tournament, and their second title, after beating Balochistan by nine runs in the final.
