Darts tournamentTemplate:SHORTDESC:Darts tournament
The **2019 Austrian Darts Championship** was the tenth of thirteen PDC European Tour events on the 2019 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at the Multiversum Schwechat, Vienna, Austria, from 30 August–1 September 2019. It featured a field of 48 players and £140,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.

Mensur Suljović won his third European Tour title, and his first in his home country, with an 8–7 win against Michael van Gerwen in the final.

## Prize money

The prize fund increased from £135,000 to £140,000 for the 2019 European Tour.

This is how the prize money was divided:

* Seeded players who lose in the second round do not receive this prize money on any Orders of Merit.

## Qualification and format

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 14 June automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.

The remaining 32 places went to players from six qualifying events – 18 from the UK Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 21 June), six from the European Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 21 June), two from the West & South European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 29 August), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 29 August), one from the Nordic & Baltic Qualifier (held on 9 March), and one from the East European Qualifier (held on 24 August).

From 2019, the Host Nation, Nordic & Baltic and East European Qualifiers will only be available to non-Tour Card holders. Any Tour Card holders from the applicable regions will have to play the main European Qualifier.

Corey Cadby withdrew prior to the tournament, which meant an extra place was made available in the Host Nation Qualifier.
