Darts tournamentTemplate:SHORTDESC:Darts tournament
The **2019 Danish Darts Open** was the eighth of thirteen PDC European Tour events on the 2019 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at Brøndbyhallen, Copenhagen, Denmark, from 14–16 June 2019. It featured a field of 48 players and £140,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.

Mensur Suljović was the defending champion after defeating Simon Whitlock 8–3 in the final of the 2018 tournament, but he lost 6–5 to Dave Chisnall in the third round.

Chisnall would go on to win the event, his second European Tour title and his first for 6 years, by defeating Chris Dobey 8–3 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 10 May 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 17 May), six from the European Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 17 May), two from the West & South European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 18 May), two from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 13 June), two from the Nordic & Baltic Qualifier (excluding Danish players, held on 10 March), one from the East European Qualifier (held on 10 March), and one to the highest ranked PDCNB player on the PDC Order of Merit without a Tour Card.
