The 2000 Mountain West Conference Baseball Tournament took place from May 17–20. This was the first championship tournament for the conference, which was formed prior to the 2000 NCAA Division I baseball season. All six of the league's teams met in the double-elimination tournament held at University of Nevada, Las Vegas's Earl Wilson Stadium. Second seeded San Diego State won the inaugural Mountain West Conference Baseball Championship with a championship game score of 9–4. As the Mountain West was a new league, they did not possess an automatic bid to the 2000 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament, and no conference team was invited.
