The 2019 American League Division Series were two best-of-five series in Major League Baseball’s (MLB) 2019 postseason to determine the participating teams of the 2019 American League Championship Series. The three divisional winners, seeded first through third, and a fourth team—determined by the AL Wild Card Game—played in two series. These matchups were:

The team with the better regular season record (higher-seed) of each series hosted Games 1, 2, and (if necessary) 5, while the other team hosted Game 3 and (if necessary) 4.

For the third straight year, Major League Baseball sold presenting sponsorships to all of its postseason series. This ALDS was sponsored by Doosan and officially known as the 2019 American League Division Series presented by Doosan. The Yankees and Astros won their series to advance to the American League Championship Series.

The Astros defeated the Yankees in the ALCS, then lost the 2019 World Series to the National League champion Washington Nationals.
