The 2019 Macau Grand Prix (officially the 66th Suncity Group Macau Grand Prix – FIA F3 World Cup) was a Formula Three (F3) motor race held on the streets of Macau on 17 November 2019. Unlike previous races, the event was a non-championship round of the FIA Formula 3 Championship, and drivers from all F3 championships were welcome. The race itself was made up of two races: a ten-lap qualifying race to set the starting grid for the fifteen-lap main event. It was the 66th Macau Grand Prix, and the first for FIA Formula 3, a different specification than the pre-2018 specification now known as Formula Regional.
This was the last race in which this event was run for Formula 3 cars, until the return of Formula 3 in 2023. Between 2020 and 2022, the event was for Formula 4 cars and did not feature international drivers.
MP Motorsport driver Richard Verschoor won the event from fourth place. Hitech Grand Prix's Jüri Vips won the qualification race the day before and led the first seven laps of the main race before being passed by Verschoor on the eighth lap. Verschoor held off Vips' several overtake attempts to become the first rookie to win the Macau Grand Prix since Keisuke Kunimoto in 2008. He was the first Dutch driver to win the event and the second overall, after Roberto Moreno, to win the New Zealand Grand Prix and Macau. Vips finished second and Carlin Buzz Racing's Logan Sargeant was third.
