Guernsey cricket team hosted Jersey cricket team from 31 May to 1 June 2019 to contest the 2019 T20 Inter-Insular Cup, consisted of three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1] The series took place at two grounds in Guernsey: College Field in Saint Peter Port and King George V Sports Ground in Castel.[1] The two sides had played an Inter-Insular match annually since 1950, generally as 50-over contests.[2] A Twenty20 series was played for the first time in 2018, with Jersey winning the inaugural series 3–0.[3] [4]
Following the International Cricket Council's decision to grant T20I status to all matches played between Associate Members after 1 January 2019, this edition was the first to have this enhanced status.[5] [6] Both teams made their T20I debuts with fixtures providing part of their preparations for the European Regional Qualifying tournament for the 2019 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier.[1] [7] Jersey again won the series 3–0.[8] [9] The first match of the series was the thirteenth tied T20I match, and the ninth to be won by a Super Over. Jersey's Dominic Blampied was named player of the series after scoring 92 runs and taking 6 wickets.[10] [11]
On 31 May 2019, there was also a one-off Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) fixture between the two women's teams.[12] Guernsey won the one-off WT20I match by seven wickets.[13] It was the first WT20I match for both teams.[14]
On 31 August 2019, the men's teams played the traditional annual 50-over Inter-Insular Trophy match. This had been replaced by the T20 Cup series in 2018,[15] but both formats will now be played each year with a separate trophy awarded.[6]

Jersey won the rain-affected match by five-wickets to retain the Inter-Insular Trophy.[20]
