The 2019 NAQT Intercollegiate Championship Tournament was hosted at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Chicago, Illinois, on April 6. It was the last ICT held before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yale held onto their 2018 ICT title, winning the Division I championship in the first game of an advantaged final over Columbia A 535–165. Chicago A placed third.

Michigan State won the Division I Undergraduate title over Amherst. Maryland B defeated Chicago D to win the Division II title.

The tournament, continuing NAQT's sponsorship agreement with LetterOne, used the same expanded format as 2018's iteration. It was revealed that NAQT's ruleset had not been updated to reflect the new format, meaning that an alphabetical tiebreaker was still in use to determine playoff seedings between teams with identical prelim records. This affected Berkeley and Florida and more egregiously Amherst and Maryland A, but did not ultimately impact the final placement of the tournament. The resulting controversy inspired an angry post by Conor Thompson.
