The defending gentlemen's singles champion Novak Djokovic retained his title, while the defending ladies' singles champion Angelique Kerber lost in the second round to Lauren Davis. Simona Halep won the ladies' singles title, her second major title after the French Open in 2018. This tournament marked the first grand slam main draw appearance of 2023 US Open women's singles champion Coco Gauff, who progressed to the fourth round as a fifteen-year-old, after being awarded a wildcard into qualifying.

This was the first edition of the tournament to feature a standard tie break in the final set when the score in the set was 12 games all. The winner was the first player or pair to reach seven points whilst leading by two or more points or, in the case of a 6-6 point score, to establish a subsequent lead of two points. Henri Kontinen and John Peers won the first such tie break played in Wimbledon history, defeating Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury in a third-round men's doubles match.[2] In men's singles, the only such match was the final in which Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer, in what was also the longest final in tournament history lasting for 4 hours and 57 minutes.[3]

Women's singles included 16 qualifiers from 128 entrants, an increase from 12 qualifiers from 96 entrants. Doubles qualifying was eliminated as a result. The change brought the qualification for the women's singles into line with that for the men's singles, which remained unchanged.[4]

This was the last edition of the Wimbledon Championships until 2021 after the event would be cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the first such cancellation since World War II. This was also the last major final contested by eight-time champion and twelve-time finalist Roger Federer.

The 2019 Wimbledon Championships was the 133rd edition of the tournament and was held at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. It was also the last regular tennis tournament to be staged before the cancellation was confirmed in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the first such cancellation since World War II.

The tournament was run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and was included in the 2019 ATP Tour and the 2019 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category. The tournament consisted of men's (singles and doubles), women's (singles and doubles), mixed doubles, boys (under 18 – singles and doubles) and girls (under 18 – singles and doubles), which was also a part of the Grade A category of tournaments for under 18, and singles & doubles events for men's and women's wheelchair tennis players as part of the UNIQLO Tour under the Grand Slam category, also hosting singles and doubles events for wheelchair quad tennis for the first time.[5]

The tournament was played only on grass courts; main draw matches were played at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Wimbledon. Qualifying matches were played, from Monday 24 June to Thursday 27 June 2019, at the Bank of England Sports Ground, Roehampton. The Tennis Sub-Committee met to decide wild card entries on 17 June.
