The 2018–19 Irish Super League season marked the 46th running of Basketball Ireland's premier men's basketball competition. The season initially featured 12 teams from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland but was reduced to 11 teams mid-season following Swords Thunder disbanding in February 2019. The regular season ran from 29 September 2018 to 24 March 2019 culminating in Tralee Warriors securing their first championship title. Killester claimed victory in the National Cup, while Templeogue won the Champions Trophy for the first time, having finished as runners-up in three of the previous four seasons.
