The 2019 Super Rugby Final was played between the Crusaders of New Zealand and the Jaguares of Argentina. It was the 24th final in the Super Rugby competition's history. The Crusaders had qualified in first place on the regular season standings, while the Jaguares had qualified in second place. Both teams hosted quarter-final and semi-final matches.

The final was won by the Crusaders who beat the Jaguares by sixteen points. The Crusaders stretched their record number of Super Rugby wins to ten and completed what is called a three-peat by winning the tournament three times consecutively in what was the competition's lowest scoring final.{{Cite web|url=https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2019/07/06/super-rugby-crusaders-jaguares-match|title=Crusaders clinch Super Rugby three-peat with win over Jaguares|website=www.rugby.com.au|date=6 July 2019 |language=en|access-date=15 April 2020|archive-date=3 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803152531/https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2019/07/06/super-rugby-crusaders-jaguares-match|url-status=live}}

The 2019 season was a 15-team competition, consisting of three geographical conferences. Each conference leader at the end of the regular season, the {{Rut|Crusaders}} from New Zealand, {{Rut|Jaguares}} from Argentina and {{Rut|Brumbies}} from Australia gained home berths in the quarterfinals, as did the top-ranked wildcard team, the {{Rut|Hurricanes}} from New Zealand's conference. Their four wildcard opponents in the quarterfinals were the next best teams as ranked at the end of the regular season.

In the quarter-finals the Crusaders beat fellow New Zealand team the Highlanders while the Jaguares beat the Chiefs. For the semi-finals it was the Crusaders defeating the Hurricanes in Christchurch and the Jaguares defeating the Brumbies in Buenos Aires. Because of being the higher placed team in the regular season log standings, the final was held in Christchurch.
