The event was held at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit on Phillip Island, Victoria, and consisted of one race of 120 kilometres (27 laps) and one race of 200 kilometres (45 laps) in length.

It was the fourth event of fifteen in the 2019 Supercars Championship and hosted Races 9 and 10 of the season.

[3] Scott McLaughlin entered the event holding a championship lead of 124 points over teammate Fabian Coulthard.

The event was moved to become a double-header with the Tasmania SuperSprint on the previous weekend.

The trial saw the pitlane closed when a safety car was called in a bid to ease congestion and double stacking.
