2019 National Junior A Championship

The 2019 National Junior A Championship was the 49th Canadian junior A ice hockey national championship for the Canadian Junior Hockey League and the 49th consecutive year a national championship was awarded to this skill level since the breakaway of Major Junior hockey in 1970. The tournament was played at the Centennial Regional Arena in Brooks, Alberta from May 11 to 19, 2019. The event and championship trophy were without a sponsor or title for this year following the ending of Royal Bank of Canada's partnership with Hockey Canada; Hockey Canada formally reinstated the Centennial Cup as the Junior 'A' championship in the summer of 2019.

1. The Brooks Bandits won the 2019 Inter Pipeline Cup AJHL Championship and played the Prince George Spruce Kings in the Doyle Cup; the winner normally advances to the National Championship. Because Brooks has already earned an entry to the tournament as host, Prince George had also automatically earned an entry to the tournament as the Pacific Region representative, The Spruce Kings also went on to win the Doyle Cup over the Bandits.
