The 1998 PBA All-Star Weekend is the annual all-star weekend of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). Instead of the old formats of pitting its stars from the North against the South or the veterans versus the youngsters, the league this time featured the Philippine Centennial Team against a PBA Selection, reinforced by imports.
They played twice and the first All-Star Game was held outside of Manila since the annual spectacle was institutionalized in 1989.{{cite news|URL=http://www.newsflash.org/199807/sp/sp000386.htm|title=Centennial cagers swamp PBA All-Stars|work=Philippine Headline News Online}}
