1999–2000 Bangladeshi cricket season

The 1999–2000 cricket season in Bangladesh saw the introduction of the National Cricket League, although it did not have first-class status until the 2000–01 season. Internationally, the country hosted tours by the West Indies and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).

In October 1999, West Indies led by Brian Lara played a single first-class match against the Bangladesh national team, which was drawn. The teams also played a two-match series of Limited Overs Internationals (LOI) which West Indies won 2–0. In January 2000, MCC toured the country to play five matches including one first-class against the national team. This was drawn. Bangladesh in their matches against the touring teams were captained by Aminul Islam.

The National Cricket League was launched with six teams taking part, each representing one of the country's administrative divisions, and the championship was won by Chittagong Division.
