The 2019 United States Tri-Nation Series was the second round of the 2019–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 cricket tournament and took place in the United States in September 2019.[1][2] It was a tri-nation series between Namibia, Papua New Guinea and the United States cricket teams, with the matches played as One Day International (ODI) fixtures.[1] The ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 formed part of the qualification pathway to the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[3][4] It was the first One Day International series to be played in the USA.[5]

Originally, the Church Street Park cricket ground in Morrisville, was named as the host venue by the International Cricket Council.[1] In July 2019, it was announced that either a new venue in Morgan Hill, California or the Leo Magnus Cricket Complex in Woodley Park in Los Angeles would host the tournament.[6] However, the Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, Florida was chosen as the host venue.[7]

The first fixture of the series saw the United States beat Papua New Guinea by five runs via the DLS method in a rain-affected match.[8] This was the first-ever win for the United States in an ODI match.[9]
