The 2019 AutoReject World Series season will be the 10th season of ARWS competition, and the second since the rebrand from the former F1RWRS moniker. Terry Hawkin will enter the season as the reigning champion, whilst MRT return as constructors' championship winners. This was the first ARWS season to cut the entry list down to 17 teams, following the bankruptcy and withdrawal of numerous teams. Eric Vincent Racing and Euromotor International were new additions to the grid, and there were plenty of driver changes too, most notably three-time champion Mark Dagnall's move to the Kjellerup team, as 2017 winner Thomas De Bock left the series to join the reborn IndyCar Series. The series also returned to Indianapolis for the first time since 2015, adding a 500km championship event at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
