The 2019 US Open was the 139th edition of tennis' US Open and the fourth and final Grand Slam event of the year. It was held on outdoor hard courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City.

Novak Djokovic and Naomi Osaka were the men's and women's singles defending champions, respectively. Both were defeated in the fourth round, with Djokovic retiring due to a shoulder injury after losing the first two sets against Stan Wawrinka, and Osaka losing against Belinda Bencic.

Both singles finals were rematches of the singles finals at the 2019 Canadian Open four weeks prior. Rafael Nadal won the men's singles title, defeating first time major finalist Daniil Medvedev in a five-set thriller for his 19th major singles title. Bianca Andreescu won the women's singles title, defeating Serena Williams in straight sets in the final, becoming the first Canadian to win a major singles title. Williams set an Open Era record by reaching her tenth US Open final.

The 2019 US Open was the 139th edition of the tournament and took place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park of Queens in New York City, New York, United States. The tournament was held on 17 DecoTurf hard courts.

The tournament was an event run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and was part of the 2019 ATP Tour and the 2019 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category. The tournament consisted of both men's and women's singles and doubles draws as well as a mixed doubles event. There were also singles and doubles events for both boys and girls (players under 18), which were part of the Grade A category of tournaments. Additionally, there were singles and doubles wheelchair tennis events for men, women and quads.

The tournament was played on hard courts and took place over a series of 17 courts with DecoTurf surface, including the three existing main showcourts – Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, and Grandstand.

In the United States, the 2019 US Open was the fifth year in a row under an 11-year, $825 million contract with ESPN, in which the broadcaster held exclusive rights to the entire tournament and the US Open Series. This meant that the tournament was not available on broadcast television. This also made ESPN the exclusive U.S. broadcaster for three of the four tennis majors.

Below is a series of tables for each of the competitions showing the ranking points on offer for each event.

The US Open has the richest prize purse of all Grand Slams. The total prize money compensation for the 2019 US Open is $57,238,700, a more than 13.2% increase on the same total last year.
