The '''2018–19 season''' was Irish provincial [[rugby union]] side [[Connacht Rugby]]'s eighteenth season competing in the [[Pro14]], and the team's twenty-third season as a professional side. It was [[Andy Friend]]'s first season in charge of the side.

In the regular season, Connacht were in Conference A of the Pro14. The team finished third in their conference, qualifying for the play-offs for the first time since the [[2015–16 Connacht Rugby season|2015–16 season]] where they were beaten by [[Ulster Rugby|Ulster]] in the quarter-final. As well as playing in the Pro14, the team competed in the [[European Rugby Challenge Cup|Challenge Cup]] in Europe. They qualified as one of the best runners up from a pool including [[Union Bordeaux Bègles|Bordeaux]], [[USA Perpignan|Perpignan]] and [[Sale Sharks]] to reach the quarter-finals, where they again met Sale. A 20–10 defeat saw the team eliminated in the last eight.

In addition to the league and European competitions, the [[Connacht Eagles]] development side competed in two new competitions. The first was the [[Celtic Cup (2018 rugby union tournament)|Celtic Cup]], which saw them play against other Irish provinces' development teams and sides from Wales. The Eagles finished bottom of the Irish conference the [[2018–19 Celtic Cup|inaugural edition]] of this tournament. The second competition was the [[Cara Cup]], which involved the Irish provinces and the [[New England Free Jacks]], a newly established [[Major League Rugby]] side. The Eagles won both of their games, beating [[Ulster Rugby|Ulster]] and the Free Jacks.
