The 2019 NCAA Division I Tennis Championships were men's and women's tennis tournaments played concurrently from May 3 to May 25, 2019, at campus sites and at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida. The events marked the 74th edition of the NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championship and the 38th edition of the NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Championship.
The University of Texas won its first men's tennis national title with a 4–1 victory in the final over Wake Forest, the defending champion. Stanford University captured its record 20th women's tennis championship, shutting out top seed Georgia.
Paul Jubb of South Carolina and Estela Pérez-Somarriba of Miami (Florida) were crowned men's and women's singles champions. UCLA won both the men's and women's doubles titles - Maxime Cressy and Keegan Smith in the men's, and Gabby Andrews and Ayan Broomfield in the women's. It was the first time since 1988 that a school swept the NCAA doubles championships.
Entering the championship, Nuno Borges of Mississippi State had not lost a single match throughout the spring season, with a perfect 25–0 record at the No. 1 singles position. The senior advanced to the final without dropping a set.
South Carolina's Paul Jubb, seeded fourth, upset top-seeded Borges in the championship, 6–3, 7–6. Borges had defeated Jubb twice in the regular season. Jubb became the first national collegiate tennis champion representing South Carolina, and the first British man to win the NCAA men's singles championship.
The women's singles tournament got off to an auspicious start with the third, fourth, and fifth seeds all losing in the first round. The quarterfinals featured six unseeded players, two of which - Duke's Kelly Chen and North Carolina's Cameron Morra (only a freshman at the time) - reached the semifinals. Three of the four semifinalists represented ACC schools.
Estela Pérez-Somarriba of Miami, the nation's top-ranked player entering the tournament, dropped only two sets (including the first set in the championship) en route to winning the title. She became the second Miami woman to be crowned national champion, after Audra Cohen in 2007. Finalist Katarina Jokic was the fifth woman from Georgia to reach the NCAA final and first since 2010.
