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.

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

The Ulster, Munster and Connacht championships were conducted as straight knock-out competitions. The Leinster championship consisted of a round robin format between Wicklow, Wexford, Longford and Carlow 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.
