2019 U Sports Men's Volleyball Championship
The 2019 U Sports Men's Volleyball Championship was held from March 15 to March 17, 2019, in Quebec City, Quebec, to determine a national champion for the 2018–19 U Sports men's volleyball season.[1] The tournament was played at PEPS at Université Laval. It was the 12th time that Laval had hosted the tournament, which is the most out of any program.[1] This was also the first tournament to no longer feature an Atlantic University Sport champion as that conference had withdrawn from men's volleyball competition in 2018.[2]
The second-seeded Trinity Western Spartans defeated the top-seeded Brandon Bobcats in a re-match of the Canada West Championship game as the Spartans won the sixth national championship in program history.[3]
