The 2019 Super3 Series (known for commercial reasons as the Kumho Tyre Super3 Series) was the twelfth season of the Super3 Series, since its inception in 2008. Following an agreement between V8 Touring Cars and Supercars, the series undertook a name change from the "V8 Touring Car National Series" to "Super3", although the series will continue to be run by category managers Rob and Liam Curkpatrick.[1]

The defending champion for the 2019 season is Tyler Everingham, whilst Jim Pollicina and Andy Cantrell are the respective Kumho and Heritage defending champions.[2]
