Following the International Cricket Council's decision to grant T20I status to all matches played between Associate Members after 1 January 2019, this edition was the first to have this enhanced status.[5][6] Both teams made their T20I debuts with fixtures providing part of their preparations for the European Regional Qualifying tournament for the 2019 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier.[1][7] Jersey again won the series 3–0.[8][9] The first match of the series was the thirteenth tied T20I match, and the ninth to be won by a Super Over. Jersey's Dominic Blampied was named player of the series after scoring 92 runs and taking 6 wickets.[10][11]
On 31 May 2019, there was also a one-off Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) fixture between the two women's teams.[12] Guernsey won the one-off WT20I match by seven wickets.[13] It was the first WT20I match for both teams.[14]
On 31 August 2019, the men's teams played the traditional annual 50-over Inter-Insular Trophy match. This had been replaced by the T20 Cup series in 2018,[15] but both formats will now be played each year with a separate trophy awarded.[6]
