The 1919 Pacific Tigers football team represented the College of the Pacific—now known as the University of the Pacific—in Stockton, California as an independent during the 1919 college football season.[1] Led by George Sperry in his first and only season as head coach, Pacific compiled a record of 1–4. The game against on October 25, won by Nevada by a score of 132 to 0, was the worst loss in Pacific football history and the largest margin-of-victory for Nevada's football program. The win against Mare Island at the end of the season was the first victory for the Pacific program since their establishment in 1895.
