The 2019 HighSchoolOT girls golf all-state team includes 16 players who have been selected for the second or third time, with four of those players being repeat first-team members.

HSOT uses the difference in handicaps from the state championships to determine the placement of players on the first, second, or third team. This year, there were no tied scores. If there had been, they would have been resolved by either A) ranking among players in the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association during the season or B) performance at the N.C. High School Athletic Association regionals.

In addition, there are seven golfers who have earned Honorable Mention spots. These were determined by considering both their handicap differential and their rank within a classification.
