The 2019 FAI Cup (known as the Extra.ie FAI Cup for sponsorship purposes[1]) was the 99th edition of the annual Republic of Ireland's cup competition.[2]Forty teams participated in the competition, including all teams from the Premier Division and First Division. The competition began on 19 April 2019 with the first of five rounds and ended on 3 November 2019 with the final at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, a nominally neutral venue, which has hosted the final since 2010.

The defending champions were Premier Division side Dundalk, after they defeated Cork City 2–1 in the previous final.

Shamrock Rovers won the final 4–2 against Dundalk for their 25th title. Because Rovers qualified for the Europa League through the Premier Division, the fourth-place team in the Premier Division, Derry City, earned qualification for 2020–21 edition of the UEFA Europa League.

Qualifying round[]

The draw for the qualifying round was made on 20 March 2019 at the National Sports Campus in Abbotstown. Former Republic of Ireland international Keith Fahey and FAI Vice President Noel Fitzroy performed the draw, with representatives from the clubs in attendance.

A total of 20 teams were in the qualifying round draw: 16 intermediate teams and four junior teams. Four teams received byes into the first round of the competition: Cobh Wanderers, Crumlin United, Letterkenny Rovers and Killester Donnycarney.[3]

All ties were set to be played the week ending Sunday 21 April.
