China defeated Japan 3–0 in the final to win the tournament.

Host city selection

Nanning was the only bidder for this event.[2] The bid was approved by Badminton World Federation on 18 March 2017 during a meeting in Kuala Lumpur.[3] The city itself won the internal bidding phase by the Chinese Badminton Association, being the preferred city over Nanjing (later chosen to host 2018 BWF World Championships), Qingdao, and Wuhan.[4]

Seedings

The seedings for 32 teams competing in the tournament were announced on 12 March 2019.[5] It was based on aggregated points from the best players in the world ranking as of 5 March 2019. The tournament was divided into four groups, with twelve teams in the elite group competing for the title. Eight teams were seeded into second and third groups and four remaining teams were seeded into fourth group.

On the day of the draw, it was announced that the original list of 32 teams was pared down to 31, with Kenya withdrawing from the tournament. The 31 participating teams were divided into four groups, with Group 1 consisting of the 12 teams that will compete for the title. Group 2 and Group 3 (eight teams each) along with Group 4 (three teams) will fight for overall placings. The draw was held on 19 March 2019.[6]
