The 2018–19 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy is a first-class domestic cricket competition that is taking place in Pakistan from 1 September to 8 December 2018.[1] Following the conclusion of each match, the teams will then play each other in a List A fixture in the 2018–19 Quaid-e-Azam One Day Cup tournament.[2] Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited are the defending champions.[3]
In April 2018, Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited (ZTBL) won the Patron's Trophy Grade-II tournament to qualify for this years' edition of the competition.[4][5] ZTBL won their opening fixture of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, against Lahore Blues, by 151 runs.[6][7]
Prior to the start of the tournament, two players were dropped by the their teams. Ahmed Shehzad, captain of Habib Bank Limited (HBL), was left out of HBL's squad after testing positive for the use of a banned substance.[8] Hasan Raza was not selected to play for Pakistan Television, after his alleged involvement in spot-fixing.[9]
During the tournament, the quality of some of the pitches was questioned. This included the fixture between Water and Power Development Authority and Sui Southern Gas Company, which was abandoned on day one due to an unsafe pitch, before it was restarted as a three-day game,[10] and the fixture between Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited and Habib Bank Limited, which saw Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited being bowled out for just 35 runs in their first innings.[11]

The following teams are competing in the 2018–19 tournament:
