For the 2019 season, the point-scoring system introduced by the Union Cycliste Internationale in 2018, rewarding the top 40 riders remained in place.

Individual

Riders tied with the same number of points were classified by number of victories, then number of second places, third places, and so on, in World Tour events and stages.

Youth

The top three riders in the final results of each World Tour event's young rider classification received points towards the standings. Six points were awarded to first place, four points to second place and two points to third place.

Team

Team rankings were calculated by adding the ranking points of all the riders of a team in the table.
