The 2019 Big East men's soccer tournament, was the sixth men's soccer tournament of the current Big East Conference, formed in July 2013 after the original Big East Conference split into two leagues along football lines. It was the 25th Big East tournament, taking into account its history as the first conference.

Georgetown, the two-time defending champions,[1][2] successfully three-peated, and won their third consecutive Big East Tournament title,[3] defeating Providence 3–1 in the final.[4] Georgetown would also go on to win their first NCAA Tournament championship in program history.[5][6][7] In addition, three teams (Butler, Providence, and St. John's) earned at-large bids into the NCAA Tournament, giving the Big East the most tournament bids since 2014.
