The 2019 Football Victoria season refers to the soccer competitions contested under the organisation of Football Victoria in 2019. Across seven senior men's and six senior women's divisions, this was the 111th season of organised soccer in Victoria and the sixth following the latest competition restructure in 2013.
Overall, the season was characterised by greater media attention and broadcasting efforts within the NPL,[1] [2] but was somewhat-marred by disciplinary issues at both the NPL and State League levels.[3] [4] [5] [6] The first year under FV's newly-rebranded name, it also saw further restructures to the men's competition structure,[7] changes to the National Club Identity Policy,[8] as well as expansion of the NPL junior boys leagues.[9]
