The 2019 Super W season was the second year of the women's Super W rugby union competition held in Australia. A change to the finals format was made in 2019 with an additional playoff match added for the teams which finished second and third in regular season. Queensland, as winner of that match over the Brumbies, travelled to Sydney to play in the competition decider against the NSW Waratahs, who were hosts of the final due to finishing top of the ladder in the regular season. The 2019 Super W title was won by NSW Waratahs, defeating Queensland by 8–5 in the final.

Teams

Five women's teams again played in the Super W competition. Western Australia's team was rebranded as the RugbyWA Women for 2019, having been named the Western Force Women in 2018.
