The 2019 FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies was the 27th season of the FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies; an annual competition for rally raid events for cars, buggies, side-by-sides, and trucks held in multiple countries.

Calendar

The 2019 edition of the world cup featured five cross country rallies. The shorter 'baja' style events are now included in their international competition, the FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas.^[1] Some events on the schedule were shared with the 2019 FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship.^[2]

The FIA awards the world cup to drivers, co-drivers, and teams competing in the T1 category; whilst drivers and teams in the T2 and T3 categories are awarded FIA cups. The T4 'truck' category is recognized, but not awarded any end-of-season cup or trophy.

Due to irreconcilable differences between the FIA and Turkmenistan, the Turkmen Desert Race was cancelled for 2019; thereby leaving the calendar with just four events.^[3]
