The 2000-01 season is the fifth in the history of the Glasgow Warriors as a professional side. During this season the young professional side competed as Glasgow Caledonians; the last time they would use that name.

The 2000-01 season saw Glasgow Caledonians compete in the competitions: the Welsh-Scottish League and the European Champions Cup, the Heineken Cup for sponsorship reasons.

Glasgow once again sent a group of youngsters to study rugby in New Zealand for the summer of 2001.
