The 2019 season was Loughborough Lightning's fourth and final season, in which they competed in the final edition of the Women's Cricket Super League, a Twenty20 competition. The side finished second in the group stage, winning seven of their ten matches, therefore progressing to the semi-final.[1] However, they lost to Southern Vipers in the semi-final by 5 wickets.[2]

The side was captained by Georgia Elwiss and coached by Rob Taylor. They played four of their home matches at the Haslegrave Ground and one at Trent Bridge.[3] Following the season, women's domestic cricket in England was reformed, with the creation of new "regional hubs", with Loughborough Lightning replaced by Lightning, which retained some elements of the original team but represent a larger area.[4]
