By observing the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect we show that WASP-19b's orbit is aligned, with lambda = 4.6 +/- 5.2 degrees. Using, in addition, a spectroscopic vsini and the observed rotation period we conclude that the obliquity, psi, is less than 20 degrees. Further, the eccentricity of the orbit is less than 0.02. We argue that hot Jupiters with orbital periods as short as that of WASP-19b are two orders of magnitude less common than hot Jupiters at the 3-4-d `pileup'.
