[11] The side picked up their sixth title with a 1–0 victory over newcomers Vitiaz United in the Grand Final after topping the regular season table.
[7] The national league was expanded to ten in December 2019,[3] following the cancellation of the conference competition in late November due to lack of interest.
Newcomers Vitiaz United sat top of the league place, having beaten Lae City 2–1 on 25 January[18][19] and drawn with Hekari, and only having suffered defeat at the hands of FC Bougainville.
The final playoff spot was held by Tusbab Stallions, who were well off the pace of the top three but had a comfortable points cushion over the chasing pack.
They opened with a 2–2 draw with Star Mountain, before new signing from Lae City, Mathew David, scored seven goals in two games[26] – all three in a 3–0 win over Morobe Wawens and four in a 6–3 defeat of Tusbab Stallions – but the final three weeks of the regular season saw them fall to third, with narrow 1–0 defeats to FC Bougainville and Gulf Komara on consecutive weeks[27] followed by a 0–0 draw against eventual Minor Premiers Lae City on the final day.
