The 1919 University Farm football team represented University Farm[note 1] in the 1919 college football season. Although University Farm was the formal name for the school and team, in many newspaper articles from the time it was called "Davis Farm". The team had no nickname in 1919, with the "Aggie" term being introduced in 1922.

The school did not field a team in 1918 due to World War I. The 1919 team competed as an independent and was led by head coach William E. Bobbitt in his only season as head coach for the school. They played home games in Davis, California. University Farm finished with a record of two wins and five losses (2–5) and was outscored by their opponents 63–109 for the 1919 season.
