The 1999 Hamilton Tiger-Cats season was the 42nd season for the team in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and their 50th overall. The Tiger-Cats finished in second place in the East Division with an 11–7 record and won the Grey Cup in a rematch of the previous year's championship game against the Calgary Stampeders. To date, this remains as the most recent season that the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have won the Grey Cup, although they did make an appearance in 2013, 2014, 2019, and 2021, but lost each time.
This season, Hamilton set a CFL record (since 1978) for fewest quarterback sacks allowed in one season (7).
