The Clausura 2019 Copa MX Final was the final of the Clausura 2019 Copa MX, the fourteenth edition of the Copa MX under its current format and 81st overall organized by the Mexican Football Federation, the governing body of association football in Mexico.

The final was contested in a single-leg format between Ascenso MX club Juárez and Liga MX club América.[1] The match was hosted by Juárez at Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez in Ciudad Juárez on 10 April 2019.[3]

This was the third time a Liga MX and Ascenso MX face each other in the final; FC Juárez is the fifth Ascenso MX club overall to reach the final.[4]

América won the match 1–0 and captured their record sixth title.[5] As winners, América earned the right to face Cruz Azul in the 2019 Supercopa MX. However, they also won the Apertura 2018 Liga MX, and thus qualified for the 2019 Campeón de Campeones. They were replaced by the Supercopa MX title holders, Necaxa.[6]
