The 2019 Copa Sudamericana final was the final match to decide the winner of the 2019 Copa Sudamericana, the 18th edition of the Copa Sudamericana, South America's secondary international club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.[2]

The final was contested in a single match format between Ecuadorian team Independiente del Valle and Argentinian team Colón, at the Estadio General Pablo Rojas in Asunción, Paraguay on 9 November 2019. This was the first final to be played as a single match at a venue chosen in advance.

Independiente del Valle defeated Colón by a 3–1 score to win their first Copa Sudamericana title.[3] As champions, Independiente del Valle earned the right to play against the winners of the 2019 Copa Libertadores in the 2020 Recopa Sudamericana. They also automatically qualified for the 2020 Copa Libertadores group stage. They would also have played the winners of the 2019 J.League Cup in the 2020 J.League Cup / Copa Sudamericana Championship, but it would not be held due to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics scheduled to be held at the same time.[4]

Before the game, two bands identified with the finalist teams played on the field: Los Palmeras, for Colón, and La Vagancia, for Independiente. Then the Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi finished the show.[8]
