The 2019 European Darts Grand Prix was the sixth of thirteen PDC European Tour events on the 2019 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at Glaspalast, Sindelfingen, Germany, from 10 to 12 May 2019. It featured a field of 48 players and £140,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.
Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion after defeating James Wade 8–3 in the final of the 2018 tournament, but he lost 6–3 to Peter Wright in the quarter-finals.
Ian White became the eighth player to win multiple European Tour titles after beating Wright 8–7 in the final. It was White's third consecutive final on the European Tour, a record matched only by Van Gerwen.

Qualification and format
[edit]The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 4 April will automatically qualify for the event and will be seeded in the second round.
The remaining 32 places will go to players from six qualifying events – 18 from the UK Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 12 April), six from the European Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 12 April), two from the West & South European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 9 May), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 9 May), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 2 February) and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 9 March).
From 2019, the Host Nation, Nordic & Baltic and East European Qualifiers will only be available to non-tour card holders. Any tour card holders from the applicable regions will have to play the main European Qualifier.
Dave Chisnall, who was set to be the 12th seed, withdrew prior to the tournament draw due to family reasons. All seeds below him moved up a place, with Mervyn King becoming sixteenth seed, and an extra place being made available in the Host Nation Qualifier.
James Wade, the 10th seed, withdrew from the tournament after the draw and was not replaced, with his second round opponent Ryan Searle receiving a bye.
The following players will take part in the tournament:
