The 2018–19 CSA 4-Day Franchise Series[1] was a first-class cricket competition that took place in South Africa from 26 September 2018 to 31 January 2019.[2][3] It was the first edition not to be sponsored by Sunfoil, after they decided not to renew their sponsorship.[4][5] Lions won the tournament, after beating Warriors in the final match of the competition.[6] They won the fixture, with just nine deliveries left in the game, to gain enough bonus points to overtake the Cape Cobras.[7][8] Titans were the defending champions,[9] but finished in last place, with just one win in their ten matches.[8]

Cricket South Africa announced that the competition would be split into two sections, the first from September to November, and the second from December and January.[2] This was used to help prepare the national side for the Test series against Pakistan, which was played in December 2018 and January 2019.[2] During the break, the first edition of the Mzansi Super League also took place.[10]
