The 2019 Riga Masters was a professional ranking snooker tournament held from 26 to 28 July 2019 at the Arēna Rīga in Riga, Latvia. It was the sixth Riga Masters event, with the first being held in 2013, and the first ranking event of the 2019/2020 snooker season. The defending champion, Neil Robertson, previously defeated Jack Lisowski in the 2018 final. However, Robertson and several other players were forced to withdraw from qualifying round matches due to flight cancellations, and therefore could not compete in the event.
Mark Joyce reached his first ranking event final, defeating 2018 runner-up Jack Lisowski in the round of 16.
Yan Bingtao won his first ranking event after defeating Joyce in the final 5–2.
