The 2018–19 Pro50 Championship was the seventeenth edition of the Pro50 Championship, a List A cricket tournament that was played in Zimbabwe, which started on 8 December 2018.[1] The tournament featured four teams, instead of the five that took part in the previous edition, with the Rising Stars being disbanded.[2][3] The other change to the 2018–19 tournament was that it was played across six rounds, instead of ten, as per previous years.[2] The Rising Stars were the defending champions.[4]

The Mashonaland Eagles were the first team to qualify for the final of the tournament.[5] They were joined in the final by the Matabeleland Tuskers, after they won their penultimate fixture by eight wickets.[6] Mashonaland Eagles won the tournament, beating Matabeleland Tuskers by two wickets in the final.[7]
