# FA Cup 1999-2000

La FA Cup 1999-2000 (conocida como The FA Cup sponsored by AXA, por razones de patrocinio) fue la 119ª edición del más antiguo torneo de fútbol reconocido en el mundo. Las semifinales y la final de esta edición fueron jugadas en el Estadio de Wembley por última vez antes de comenzar su demolición y reconstrucción.
El italiano Roberto Di Matteo dio la victoria al Chelsea en la final, con un solitario gol en la victoria por 1-0 sobre el Aston Villa.
El defensor del título, el Manchester United, no participó en esta edición debido a su participación en el Campeonato Mundial de Clubes de la FIFA 2000 en Brasil; fue la primera edición de la FA Cup en que el campeón vigente no participó.
