Maccabi Tel Aviv were the defending champions.[1]
Format changes
The four clubs playing in the Champions League and Europa League (Maccabi Tel Aviv, Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv, Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Be'er Sheva) will not take part in the group stage, while the remaining ten clubs were divided into two groups of five clubs. At the end of the group stage each of the group winners will qualify to the semi-finals. Maccabi Tel Aviv and Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv will play (in the 2019 Israel Super Cup match) for a place in one of the semi-finals (meeting the group winner with the fewest points accumulated), while Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Be'er Sheva will play for a place in the other semi-final (meeting the group winner with the most points accumulated). All the clubs will participate in classification play-offs.[2]
Group stage
Groups were allocated according to geographic distribution of the clubs, with the northern clubs allocated to Group A, and the southern clubs allocated to Group B. Each club will play the other clubs once.
The matches are scheduled to start on 27 July 2019.
