The 2019 Global T20 Canada was the second edition of the Global T20 Canada, a professional Twenty20 cricket tournament that was played at the CAA Centre, Brampton in Ontario, Canada. It started on 25 July 2019, and concluded with the final on 11 August 2019. It was slightly later in the calendar than the previous edition of the tournament, to avoid clashing with the 2019 Cricket World Cup. Vancouver Knights were the defending champions. A new team named New York Legends were announced to replace Cricket West Indies B Team. However, the idea was later cancelled, and the Brampton Wolves were named as the sixth franchise team in June 2019.
Teams and squads
The following teams, squads and coaches were announced for the tournament. More than 1,000 cricketers from 42 nations were on the list for the players' draft.
In July 2019, Steven Taylor, Jasdeep Singh and Timil Patel withdrew from the tournament, after signing central contracts with USA Cricket. In early August, the majority of the Emirati cricketers were recalled to play in the Twenty20 International (T20I) series against the Netherlands. On 5 August 2019, Brendon McCullum announced his retirement from cricket, with the tournament being his final matches.
