The 2019 Denver Outlaws season was the fourteenth season for the Outlaws franchise of Major League Lacrosse. It was also the first season under head coach Tony Seaman, who previously served as general manager before B.J. O'Hara took the head coaching job for the New York Lizards. The Denver Outlaws had a very strong team, having 7 players go to the All Star game.[1]

Coming off of a 2018 championship season where the Outlaws again got off to a slow start (1-4) before rattling off a six-game win streak in the regular season and two postseason upsets over the second and top-seeded Chesapeake Bayhawks and Dallas Rattlers, hoisting the Steinfeld Trophy for the third time in five years on August 18 after defeating the Rattlers, 16–12 at MUSC Health Stadium in Charleston, South Carolina,[2] the Outlaws finished with a 9–7 record and returned to the championship game for the fourth consecutive year but would lose to the Chesapeake Bayhawks by the score of 10–9.

With the season starting six weeks later in the calendar year, the Outlaws played their last two home games at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium, on the campus of the University of Denver due to conflicting with the NFL season.[3]
