The 2000 World Rally Championship was the 28th season of the FIA World Rally Championship. The season consisted of 14 rallies.

The manufacturers' title was won by Peugeot, ahead of Ford and Subaru.

Calendar

The 2000 championship was contested over fourteen rounds in Europe, Africa, South America and Oceania.

The Cyprus Rally was added to the calendar as a replacement.^[1]
