The 2000 International Rules Series was the seventh annual International Rules Series and the third time that a Test series of international rules football has been played between Ireland and Australia since the series resumed in 1998.

The series was played in Ireland over two Test matches and was won by Australia, who recorded a clean sweep by winning both Test matches and defeating the host nation on an aggregate margin of 123–98 points. The win was Australia's first since the series recommenced under the two Test format in 1998 and was notable for the fact that it produced a then record crowd for a home international for any Irish team, in the second Test.^[1]
