The 2019 Rugby Europe Sevens Grand Prix Series was the eighteenth edition of the continental championship for rugby sevens in Europe. The series took place over two legs, the first at Moscow in Russia and the second at Łódź in Poland.
France won in Moscow but Germany won the Łódź tournament to take out the series championship title for the first time.
Germany, Italy and Portugal, as the three highest-placed nations without core team status on the World Rugby Sevens Series, gained entry to the inaugural World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series for a chance to qualify to the World Sevens Series in 2020–21.
The Moscow leg of the tournament also served as a pre-qualifier for the 2020 Summer Olympics. The nine highest-placed eligible European teams from that tournament advanced to the Olympic regional qualifier held in Colomiers, France.
The official schedule for the 2019 Rugby Europe Sevens Grand Prix Series was:
| Leg | Stadium | City | Dates | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
