The 2019 Summer Universiade (Italian: 2019 Universiade estiva), officially known as the XXX Summer Universiade (Italian: XXX Universiade estiva) and also known as Napoli 2019, was held in Naples, Italy, between 3 and 14 July 2019.[3]

It was initially scheduled for Brasília, Brazil in July 2019. However, on 23 December 2014, it was confirmed that Brasília had withdrawn from hosting the event, citing financial problems.[4] International University Sports Federation decided to reopen the bidding process after the withdrawal.[5]
