The 1999 '''[[Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup]]''' ran from June to October 1999, open to all [[soccer]] teams in the United States. It was the first Open Cup tournament to be named after [[Lamar Hunt]]. The [[Rochester Raging Rhinos]] of the [[A-League (1995–2004)|A-League]] defeated the [[Colorado Rapids]] 2–0 in the final at [[Columbus Crew Stadium]] in [[Columbus, Ohio]].<ref name="DiVeronica">{{cite news |last1=DiVeronica |first1=Jeff |title=Rhinos win soccer crown |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/democrat-and-chronicle-rhinos-win-soccer/34951596/ |access-date=11 February 2024 |work=[[Democrat and Chronicle]] |date=15 September 1999 |page=1A}}</ref> The Rhinos became the first, and as of 2024, only non-Division I team to win the Open Cup since the inception of [[Major League Soccer]], defeating four MLS teams in the tournament. Another A-League team, the [[Charleston Battery]], also reached the semifinals, and the A-League's [[Staten Island Vipers]] were the other non-division one squad to beat an MLS team.
