The 5th African Track Cycling Championships 2019 ( 2019 African Continental Track Cycling Championships ) were held from January 17th to 19th in Pietermaritzburg , South Africa , on the Alexandra Park Velodrome .

Riders from seven nations - Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria, Seychelles and Zimbabwe - took part in the championships. The continental championships offered African athletes the opportunity to collect necessary points on their way to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo instead of the fifth round of the Track Cycling World Cup in New Zealand, which is taking place at the same time . In Tokyo, the African association has four permanent starting positions in Omnium and Sprint for which the athletes can qualify.

The most successful team was that of the host from South Africa with a total of 23 medals, including twelve gold medals. The Egyptian team followed in second place with eight medals, six of which were attributable to the most successful female athlete of this championship, Ebtisam Zayed . Among other things, Zayed won the Omnium, which was held for the first time for women at the African track championships. Charlene du Preez from South Africa won three titles, as did her male teammates Jean Spies and Joshua van Wyk . The Nigerian Tombrapa Gladys Gripka won three medals.
