The 2000 British Isles Championship is a cricket tournament that took place in 2000 in Wales.[1] It was second time hosted by Wales as a continuation of the initiative to help in the development of cricket in British Isles. The tournament was won by Scotland while Ireland came second. The tournament which was later replaced with European Cricket Championship was won by Scotland for a record fifth time. It was the worst performance for a team representing  England who finished at the bottom without winning any matches. It was also the first time that tournament had 2 tied matches based on bowl-out. Also this tournament had just 1 complete match, 1 partial match and rest 4 were decided in a bowl-out. A bowl-out happened in case the match was washed out.
