1999 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Cup squads

This article shows all participating team squads at the 1999 FIVB Women's World Cup, held from November 2 to November 16, 1999 in several cities in Japan.

The 1999 FIVB Women's World Cup featured rosters from twelve of the world's premier national teams, representing a pivotal moment in international volleyball as the tournament served as the first qualifying event for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Each squad was permitted a maximum of twelve players, selected to compete in a grueling round-robin format across eight Japanese cities. The rosters showcased a blend of established legends and emerging talent; notably, the Cuba national team featured stars like Regla Torres and Mireya Luis, who led their country to a gold medal finish. Other significant participants included Russia, led by the scoring prowess of Yevgeniya Artamonova, and the Brazil squad, which secured the bronze. These squads are historically significant for representing the peak of the "side-out" scoring era before the widespread adoption of the rally point system in major international play.
