The third edition of Liège–Bastogne–Liège Femmes, a road cycling one-day race in Belgium, was held on 28 April 2019. It was the ninth event of the 2019 UCI Women's World Tour. The race started in Bastogne and finished in Liège, including five categorised climbs, covering a total distance of 138.5 km.[1] It was won by Annemiek van Vleuten.
The route is changed from previous editions with the finish now in Liège, rather than Ans.[2] At 138.5 km, the race is approximately half the distance of the men's event. It starts in Bastogne, from where it heads north to finish in Liège on the same location as the men's race. The route features five categorised climbs: the Côte de Wanne, Côte de Brume, Côte de la Vecquée, Côte de La Redoute, and Côte de la Roche aux faucons.
Twenty four teams, each with a maximum of six riders, started the race:[3]
