The2019Weltklasse Zürich was an outdoortrack and field meeting inZürich, Switzerland. Held on 28–29 August at theLetzigrund, it was the thirteenth leg of the2019 IAAF Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit – and the first half of the final for 2019 (thesecond half being held during theMemorial Van Damme inBrussels, Belgium on 6 September).^[1] It was the tenth and last edition of the meet to co-host theDiamond League final with the Memorial Van Damme; the Weltklasse Zürich would exclusively host the final in 2020^[2] but this was canceled due to then ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic.^[3]

Thirteen more events were contested outside the Diamond League.
