The 2018–19 Muntinlupa Cagers season was the second season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).[1]

Muntinlupa started the season strong by winning eight straight games, but would only win six out of the sixteen remaining games. Still, by finishing 15–10, the Cagers managed to clinch the third seed in the South Division, the same seed they claimed in their previous campaign. In the playoffs, they met the Zamboanga Family's Brand Sardines in the Division Quarterfinals. The Cagers would win game 1, but would lose the next two games, cutting their playoff run short in an upset.

All of the team's home games were played at Muntinlupa Sports Complex.
