The 1999–2000 Asian Club Championship was the 19th edition of the annual international club football competition held in the AFC region (Asia). It determined that year's club champion of association football in Asia.

Al-Hilal defeated defending champions Júbilo Iwata 3–2 in the final, which was held at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to win their second continental title.[2] They became the first team from West Asia to win the tournament since PAS Tehran's victory in 1993. As winners, Al-Hilal earned the right to play against the 1999–2000 Asian Cup Winners' Cup winners Shimizu S-Pulse in the 2000 Asian Super Cup, and automatically qualified for the 2000–01 Asian Club Championship.
