The 2019 Rugby Africa season experienced significant restructuring and downsizing from the previous two seasons due to the loss of sponsor Kwese Sports.[1] Due to the lack of funding, the previous formats of the Gold, Silver, and Bronze divisions of the Africa Cup were replaced with a revival of the Victoria Cup[2] and a regional West African series.

Men's Tournaments

Victoria Cup

The Victoria Cup was held for the first time since 2011 and featured four nations playing a double round robin. The fixtures between Kenya and Uganda doubled as the two legs of the Elgon Cup.
