Grand Final, Stage 3

There was no time limit imposed in which to complete Stage 3 and times were not shown on-screen. However, with no competitor completing the stage and with four all failing at the second last obstacle, the winner was decided as the competitor who had reached the furthest obstacle in the fastest time. In a presentation ceremony at the end of the episode it was revealed that that person was Charlie Robbins and he was declared Australian Ninja Warrior for 2019 and awarded the prize for that title.
