The 2000 Bank of Ireland All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 114th edition of the GAA's premier Gaelic football competition. The championship began on 7 May 2000 and ended on 7 October 2000.

Meath entered the championship as the defending champions; however, they were beaten by Offaly in the Leinster quarter-final.

On 24 September 2000, the All-Ireland final between Kerry and Galway ended in a draw, 0-14 apiece. Kerry won the replay two weeks later by 0–17 to 1-10, thus claiming their 32nd All-Ireland title.{{cite news|last=O'Hehir |first=Paul |date=7 October 2000 |title=Kerry triumph in fruitless replay |url=http://www.ireland.com/sports/gaa/2000/1007/news5.htm |newspaper=The Irish Times |access-date=13 June 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001120175900/http://www.ireland.com/sports/gaa/2000/1007/news5.htm |archive-date=20 November 2000}}

This was the final year that the provincial knockout format was used, before the qualifier system was introduced in 2001.

Format

The Ulster, Munster and Connacht championships were conducted as straight knock-out competitions. In the Leinster championship, seven teams received byes to the quarter-finals, while the other four — Wicklow, Wexford, Longford and Carlow — played a round-robin to determine the 8th team to play in the Leinster quarter-finals. The winners of each provincial competition went on to play in the All Ireland semi-finals.
