The 2019 FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas was the first season of the reformed FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas; an annual competition for baja-style rally raid events for cars, buggies, side-by-sides, and trucks held in multiple countries. The championship was last held in 2010, after which the baja events were combined with the longer cross-country rallies to form the FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies.

Calendar

The 2019 edition of the world cup featured eight cross-country baja events. The longer cross-country rally events remained part of the regular Cross-Country Rally World Cup. Some events on the schedule were shared with the 2019 FIM Bajas World Cup.

The FIA awarded the world cup to drivers, co-drivers, and teams competing in the T1 category; whilst drivers and teams in the T2 and T3 categories were awarded FIA cups.
