The 2019 Memorial Van Damme was the 43rd edition of the annual track and field meeting in Brussels, Belgium. Held on 5–6 September at the King Baudouin Stadium, it was the fourteenth leg of the 2019 IAAF Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit – and the second half of the final for 2019 (the first half being held during the Weltklasse Zürich in Zürich, Switzerland on 29 August).[1] It was the tenth and last edition of the meet to co-host the Diamond League final with the Weltklasse Zürich; The Weltklasse Zürich will exclusively host the final in 2020.[2]

Because of the late World Athletics Championships, the Diamond League final was for the first time held before the World Athletics Championships in the same year. 16 Diamond League champions (8 men and 8 women) were determined and received wild cards to compete at the 2019 World Athletics Championships.[3] 18 more events were contested outside the Diamond League.
