The 2019 Pokémon World Championships was held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. from August 16 to 19, 2019. It was the sixteenth invitation-only championships for players of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the eleventh for players of the Pokémon video games, and the fourth for players of Pokkén Tournament. The championships featured a share of over $500,000 in prizes. It is the second time that Washington, D.C. held the competition, having previously held the 2014 World Championships.

Invitations for the Trading Card Game and the video game events were awarded to players who accumulated enough Championship Points throughout the season. Invitations for Pokkén Tournament were awarded to the top placements at three International Championships and players from Japan. There were also Last Chance Qualifiers held on Friday for Pokkén Tournament.

Trading Card Game Championships

The Pokémon Trading Card Game featured the 2019-20 Standard format, using all cards from Ultra Prism onward. Players received invitations from gaining enough Championship Points throughout the 2018-19 format or from the previous year's World Championships. Blaine's Quiz Show was not legal for play specifically at this event due to the confusion it could cause at multilingual tournaments.

Naohito Inoue of Japan was the defending champion but became eligible for the Seniors Division in 2019. He did not advance to Day Two, finishing with a record of 4–3.
