The 1999–2000 South Pacific tropical cyclone season was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation and ran from November 1, 1999, to April 30, 2000, in the South Pacific.

The regional tropical cyclone operational plan defines a "tropical cyclone year" separately from a "tropical cyclone season", with the "tropical cyclone year" for this season lasting from July 1, 1999, to June 30, 2000.

All of the six named storms affected land in some way, but no major damage was reported from any of the storms.

A disturbance was identified on January 3 at 06:00 (UTC) near Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu. The storm was difficult to locate the general centre for the next couple of days, but on January 6, it became more organised, while displaying midget characteristics. On January 7 at 21:00 (UTC), it was named Tropical Cyclone Iris, located {{convert|330|km|mi|abbr=on}} northwest of Port Vila, moving southeast. In Vila, {{convert|110|km|mi|abbr=on}} away from Iris's centre, recorded winds of only up to {{convert|20|kn|km/h}}, explaining the very small size of the cyclone. Iris intensified with 10-min winds increasing to {{convert|60|kn|km/h}} on January 8 at 12:00 (UTC). JTWC's estimated 1-min winds was {{convert|65|kn|km/h}}. There were some indications that Iris could be far more intense than what the warning centres estimated, mainly due to its small size. Iris accelerated eastward, leaving Vanuatu. On January 9, Iris began its weakening trend, while moving closer to Fiji. Iris was downgraded to a depression on January 10, just 48 hours after it had reached its peak intensity. The final warning placed the centre on the Dateline {{convert|150|nmi|km|abbr=on}} southeast of Fiji.

Fresh to strong winds and very rough seas were experienced over the western and southern parts of Fiji. Overall damage was minimal. Cyclone Iris was most notable for its rapid strengthening in its early stages, followed by its rapid decay.{{cite web|author=Gary Padgett|title=MONTHLY GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY — JANUARY, 2000|access-date=August 7, 2006|url=http://www.australiansevereweather.com/cyclones/2000/summ0001.htm}}

A disturbance was first identified over northern parts of Vanuatu on January 19. It developed slowly, but deepened quickly on January 22, and advisories were issued on the system on January 23. It moved southward and was upgraded to Tropical Cyclone Jo on January 24 at 03:00 (UTC). Jo moved to the south-east and attained storm force winds 15 hours after being named. The cyclone reached its peak intensity on January 26 at 00:00 (UTC) located {{convert|650|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of Nadi, with 10-min average winds of {{convert|60|kn|km/h}}. JTWC's peak 1-min average winds were {{convert|65|kn|km/h}}. Jo moved further to the south-east, and moved close enough to affect Fiji. Gusts to {{convert|50|kn|km/h}} were recorded on Viti Levu on Fiji, even though Jo was about {{convert|445|km|mi|abbr=on}} away from the Fiji. Flash flooding was reported, but there was no major river flooding. Cyclone Jo was declared extratropical on January 28 at 06:00 (UTC) when located more than {{convert|1000|nmi|km|abbr=on}} east of North Island in New Zealand.

During February 22, a cold core low developed into a tropical depression, about {{convert|110|km|mi|round=5|abbr=on}} to the east-southeast of Rikitea in French Polynesia. It initially developed little but late on February 24, the depression developed rapidly, and the storm reached tropical storm strength at 18:00 (UTC), named Tropical Cyclone Kim. It was located about {{convert|75|km|mi|abbr=on}} west of Rikitea or about {{convert|125|km|mi|abbr=on}} southeast of Mururoa. Cyclone Kim reached hurricane strength on February 25, only 18 hours after being named, while moving to the south-west. The storm reached its peak intensity of {{convert|80|kn|km/h}} on February 26 at 12:00 (UTC), located more than {{convert|1295|km|mi|abbr=on}} east of Tahiti. Minimum pressure at this time was 955 mbar. The estimated 1-min average winds from NPMOC was {{convert|100|kn|km/h}}. Kim gradually weakened over cooler waters, still moving to the south-west. Cyclone Kim became extratropical south of Tahiti on February 29 at 06:00 (UTC).

Damage from Kim was minimal from Rikitea, since it was only a depression at the time. The island recorded 10-min average winds of {{convert|27|kn|km/h}}, with a peak gust of {{convert|52|kn|km/h}} and a minimum pressure of 996 mbar. As a hurricane, the island of Rapa Iti recorded a gust of {{convert|74|kn|km/h}}, when Kim was {{convert|150|km|mi|abbr=on}} away from the island. A pressure of 995.8 mbar was recorded. Overall, damage in French Polynesia was minor.{{cite web|author=Gary Padgett|title=MONTHLY GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY — FEBRUARY, 2000|access-date=August 7, 2006|url=http://www.australiansevereweather.com/cyclones/2000/summ0002.htm}}

As Leo was developing, a new disturbance formed south of Apia in Western Samoa. The first gale warning was issued on March 7 as it moved closer to northern Tonga. Wind warnings were issued for some islands in Tonga including Vavau, Haapai and Tongatapu. The storm rapidly developed on March 8 at 06:00 UTC, and was named Tropical Cyclone Mona six hours later, while located {{convert|75|km|mi|abbr=on}} west of Haapai and moving slowly southward. A storm warning was put for the whole Tongatapu Group on the 8th. An eye developed on March 9, and Mona was upgraded to hurricane intensity at 0600 UTC, located {{convert|55|km|mi|abbr=on}} west of Tongatapu. Mona moved south-southeastward and accelerated. It reached an intensity of {{convert|75|kn|km/h}} on March 10, {{convert|370|km|mi|abbr=on}} southeast of Tongatapu. NPMOC's 1-min winds were estimated at {{convert|80|kn|km/h}}. Minimum pressure of Mona was 965 mbar. It began to weaken rapidly, as it sped off southwards, and became extratropical on March 11 at 12:00 UTC.

In the Vavau and Haapai groups, there was damage to crops, particularly to banana and coconut plantations. There was moderate damage to houses and school buildings in Tongatapu. The unofficial damage assessment, according to the Tongan National Disaster Management Office, totalled Tongan $6 million. A police patrol boat sank off Eua Island in the Tongatapu group.{{cite web|author=Gary Padgett|title=MONTHLY GLOBAL TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY — MARCH, 2000|access-date=August 7, 2006|url=http://www.australiansevereweather.com/cyclones/2000/summ0003.htm}}

On April 12, RSMC Nadi started monitoring a tropical disturbance, that had developed within a trough of low pressure to the northeast of Fiji. During the next day the system moved southwestwards towards Fiji and developed into a tropical depression, as convention around the center increasing. At 17:00 UTC, it was named Tropical Cyclone Neil, located {{convert|150|km|mi|abbr=on}} southeast of Kadavu. It moved slowly southward, but on April 16 at 12:00 UTC, it was downgraded to a tropical depression.

Damage from Neil was minimal. Kadavu and Ono-i-Lau in Fiji reported gales from Neil, while torrential rain was experienced over some parts of Fiji. There was one fatality due to drowning, but not directly associated with the cyclone.

On April 10, RSMC Nadi reported that Tropical Disturbance 18F had developed from an upper-level low, the system subsequently moved south-eastwards but was never classified as a tropical depression.

Tropical Disturbance 23F developed between Fiji and Vanuatu during May 6, and was briefly referred to as a tropical depression by RSMC Nadi but it develop further as it was sheared.{{cite web|access-date=July 29, 2014|url=http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2000/summ0005.htm|title=Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary May 2000|author=Padgett, Gary}} Tropical Disturbance 24F subsequently developed near the Solomon Island of Rennell during May 20, and moved westwards into the Australian region over the next day.{{cite web|title=Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Tracks May 2000|access-date=July 29, 2014|url=http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2000/trak0005.htm|author=Padgett, Gary}}
