The 2000 WNBA Championship was the championship series of the 2000 WNBA season, and the conclusion of the season's playoffs. The Houston Comets, second-seeded champions of the Western Conference, defeated the New York Liberty, first-seeded champions of the Eastern Conference, two games to none in a best-of-three series. This was Houston's fourth title.
The Comets made their fourth appearance in the Finals in franchise history. The Liberty also made their third Finals appearance.
Going into the series, no other team except the Houston Comets had won a WNBA championship (1997–1999).
