Naomi Osaka won her second consecutive major title at the Australian Open and took over the world No. 1 ranking, the first Asian player ever to hold the top spot. Ashleigh Barty won her first major title at the French Open and soon afterwards overtook Osaka to become No. 1. Simona Halep won her second major at Wimbledon, the first Romanian to win there. Bianca Andreescu won her first major title at the US Open, defeating Serena Williams in the final. She became the first Canadian, as well as the first player born in the 2000s, to win a major singles title. 2019 marked the first, and so far only, time in history that the four majors were won by players representing four different continents (Osaka–Asia, Barty–Australia, Halep–Europe and Andreescu–North America).

The 2019 WTA Tour was the elite professional tennis circuit organised by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) for the 2019 tennis season. The 2019 WTA Tour calendar was composed of the Grand Slam tournaments (supervised by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), the WTA Premier tournaments (Premier Mandatory, Premier 5, and regular Premier), the WTA International tournaments, the Fed Cup (organized by the ITF), and the year-end championships (the WTA Tour Championships and the WTA Elite Trophy). The Hopman Cup, organized by the ITF,^[1] also is included but did not distribute ranking points.^[2]

Prior to the season, the WTA announced usage of a shot clock at all Premier events. Players had have a minute to get on court, five minutes to warm up, and one minute to start the match. The time allotted to players in between points has been increased from 20 to 25 seconds. Finally, players were allowed only one toilet break in a match.^[3]

This is the complete schedule of events on the 2019 calendar, with player progression documented from the quarterfinals stage.
