# 1999–2000 Queens Park Rangers F.C. season

During the 1999–2000 English football season, Queens Park Rangers F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.

## Season summary

In the 1999–2000 season, QPR were in the top half for most of the campaign but their play-off hopes were all but sunk after a poor run of form at the turn of the year by going nine league games without a win.

## Kit

Le Coq Sportif continued as QPR's kit manufacturers. Telecommunications giant Ericsson continued as kit sponsors.
