Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion after defeating William O'Connor 8–2 in the previous year's final.

Van Gerwen reached a third European Tour final in five events, but lost in his third successive final appearance as Joe Cullen won his first stage title with an 8–5 success.

This is how the prize money is divided:[1] The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 25 June will automatically qualify for the event and will be seeded in the second round.

From 2019, the Host Nation, Nordic & Baltic and East European Qualifiers will only be available to non-Tour Card holders.

Any Tour Card holders from the applicable regions will have to play the main European Qualifier.
