2019 National Baseball Congress World Series
The 2019 National Baseball Congress World Series was played at Eck Stadium on the Wichita State University campus. This was due to Lawrence-Dumont Stadium, the NBC's home since it began in 1935 being demolished and replaced by a new stadium.
26 teams from seven states took part in the tournament, the fewest ever. Once again the format was pool play and single-elimination brackets.
The Seattle Studs won their third championship beating the Cheney Diamond Dawgs in the final, 5-4. The Studs actually lost to Cheney in pool play by the same scoreline. Studs RF Henry Cheney, from the University of Portland was named tournament MVP.
