After departure; just as we performed the after takeoff checklist; we were alerted by ECAM of low Blue Hydraulic Pressure. A review of the hydraulic system revealed that the pressure was 0 PSI due to the failure of the electric pump. We completed the appropriate checklist; contacted Maintenance and Dispatch and returned to [departure airport] for an uneventful landing.
A319 Captain reported a loss of blue hydraulic system shortly after takeoff due to a pump failure. Flight returned to departure airport.
