The final was played at North Harbour Stadium before the men's Chatham Cup final. This was Eastern Suburbs's third finals appearance, having lost twice previously in 2005 and 2017.{{cite web |title=Suburbs chasing historic double |url=https://www.nzfootball.co.nz/newsarticle/81743 |website=New Zealand Football |accessdate=6 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191221132240/https://www.nzfootball.co.nz/newsarticle/81743 |archive-date=21 December 2019}} It was also Coastal Spirit third appearance however while they lost in their first appearance in 2011, they had won the cup before in 2013 in a final that was played at home in Christchurch.{{cite web |title=Coastal up for the challenge |url=https://www.nzfootball.co.nz/newsarticle/81736 |website=New Zealand Football |accessdate=6 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191221132321/https://www.nzfootball.co.nz/newsarticle/81736 |archive-date=21 December 2019}}

An early goal to Suburbs inside the first five minutes to Hannah Pilley was quickly followed up by Tayla O'Brien in the ninth. Pilley got her second in the 25th minute and by that stage Suburbs was controlling the game. O'Brien got her second in the 35th minute which saw Suburbs go into the half up four nil. Suburbs controlled the second half and while they had a few more chances they also kept Coastal scoreless, leaving the final score the half time score.{{cite news|last1=Voerman|first1=Andrew|title=Eastern Suburbs far too strong for Coastal Spirit in Kate Sheppard Cup final|url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/domestic/115628161/eastern-suburbs-far-too-strong-for-coastal-spirit-in-kate-sheppard-cup-final |date=8 September 2019 |publisher=Stuff |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190910192517/https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/domestic/115628161/eastern-suburbs-far-too-strong-for-coastal-spirit-in-kate-sheppard-cup-final |archive-date=10 September 2019}} Tayla O’Brien was jointly awarded the Maia Jackman trophy for the most valuable player with Suburbs fullback Erinna Wong.{{cite web |title=Suburbs claim maiden Kate Sheppard Cup |url=https://www.nzfootball.co.nz/newsarticle/81798 |website=New Zealand Football |date=8 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191221132207/https://www.nzfootball.co.nz/newsarticle/81798 |archive-date=21 December 2019}}
