There was also Women's Round in round 9 and Heritage Round in round 16, while the new concept of Mental Health Awareness Round was included for round 19. Changes for the 2019 season saw the Stirling Senators rebrand as the Warwick Senators, while the East Perth Eagles relocated from Morley Sport & Recreation Centre to Herb Graham Recreation Centre.
