The 2018–19 CESAFI season was the 18th season of the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc., the preeminent inter-scholastic sports competition in Cebu. The 2018–19 season will be the first season of the CESAFI under president Bernard Nicolas Villamor, of Cebu Institute of Technology–University.[1]
This season marks the first appearance of University of Cebu – Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue Campus (UC–LM) as a regular member. UC–LM will compete as a separate school from sister school University of Cebu, but will carry the same nickname as the latter, the Webmasters. Aside from UC–LM, the Sisters of Mary–Boystown will also compete in select events as a guest member.[2]
For the first time in the league's history, an Under-12 Division will be added to the fold, with basketball, chess, and football being the inaugural sports in the new division.[2] In addition, weightlifting will also be making its debut as a demonstration sport.[3]
