The Peru Cup 2000 season (Spanish: Copa Perú 2000), the promotion tournament of Peruvian football.

The tournament has 5 stages. The first four stages are played as mini-league round-robin tournaments, except for third stage in region IV, which is played as a knockout stage. The final stage features two knockout rounds and a final four-team group stage to determine the two promoted teams.

This year 27 teams qualified for the Etapa Regional (Regional Stage): 1 team relegated last year from First Division and 26 champions from each department (including 2 from Lima (the capital) - Peru is politically divided in 24 Departments and 1 Constitutional Province).

All these teams are divided into 8 groups by geographical proximity; then each winner qualifies for the Etapa Nacional (National Stage).

Those 8 teams will play, again by geographical proximity, home and away matches, in a knock-out tournament. The winner of the final will be promoted to the First Division.

The following list shows the teams that qualified for the Regional Stage.

Region I includes qualified teams from Amazonas, Lambayeque, Piura and Tumbes region.

Region II includes qualified teams from Ancash, Cajamarca and La Libertad region.

Region III includes qualified teams from Loreto, San Martín and Ucayali region.

Region IV includes qualified teams from Callao, Ica and Lima region.
