The 2019 America East men's soccer tournament was the 31st edition of the tournament. The tournament decided the America East Conference champion and guaranteed representative into the 2019 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament. The tournament began on November 9 and concluded on November 16.

Defending champion, New Hampshire, was the number one seed coming into the tournament. Both New Hampshire and Vermont were statistically tied for first place in the conference. New Hampshire broke the tie by defeating Hartford twice, while Vermont split their games with Hartford. New Hampshire was seeking a consecutive tournament win since UMBC 2013–2015 seasons. In the final round of the tournament, New Hampshire played #3 seed Hartford, and the first and only goal of the game was kicked in by New Hampshire 3:27 into the game.[1] This was New Hampshire's second America East conference title in school history.

New Hampshire was the conference's lone bid into the NCAA Tournament. They hosted Fairleigh-Dickinson in the first round, defeating Fairleigh-Dickinson 1–0 at home. They then traveled to 10-seed #13 Virginia Tech where they fell 1–4. This was New Hampshire's fourth appearance in NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament.[2] New Hampshire finished the season nationally ranked 22nd by the United Soccer Coaches.
