The 2019 LIU Sharks football team represented both the LIU Post and LIU Brooklyn campuses of Long Island University in the 2019 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They were led by 22nd- year head coach Bryan Collins and played their home games at Bethpage Federal Credit Union Stadium. They played as a first-year member of the Northeast Conference. This was the first season that the LIU Sharks were competing as a team following the merger of the two LIU campuses' athletic departments in the summer of 2019.
The Sharks finished winless in their first season. A month after the season ended, starting quarterback Clay Beathard was stabbed to death in Nashville, Tennessee.
