The 2019 Marylebone Cricket Club University Matches were a series of cricket matches that were played between the eighteen County Championship teams and the six Marylebone Cricket Club University teams (MCCU) of England and Wales.[1] The first two rounds of fixtures were classed as first-class matches.[2] Each county side played one fixture against an MCCU side ahead of the start of the 2019 County Championship.[3][4][5][6]

In the opening round of fixtures, Alastair Cook scored 150 not out for Essex against Cambridge MCCU, in his first match since retiring from Test cricket.[7][8] The opening round also saw Somerset beat Cardiff MCCU by 568 runs, a record margin for a first-class match in England.[9][10] In the third and final round of matches, England Test cricketer Haseeb Hameed scored a double century, albeit in a fixture without first-class status.[11]

In August 2019, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced that the 2020 fixtures will be the last ones to have first-class status.[12]
