The 1999–00 Copa del Rey is the 98th staging of the Copa del Rey.
The competition started on September 1, 1999, and concluded on May 27, 2000, with the Final, held at the Estadio Mestalla in Valencia.
Semifinals
Note: Barcelona failed to play the second leg due to a fixture clash with UEFA international matches, which left Barcelona with only seven first team players. The competition rules at the time for the Copa del Rey allowed sides a maximum of three youth players per match, leaving Barcelona with a squad of ten players for the return leg against Atlético de Madrid. The ten Barcelona players refused to take to the field as a protest against the Spanish FA (RFEF), thus forfeiting the match.
