The 1999 Algarve Cup was an invitational women's football tournament. China won the event defeating the US, 2-1, in the final. It was China's first victory against the USA since 1993 and their first win over them since 1993.
The host and the seven teams invited are Australia, China, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Portugal, Sweden and the United States.
The eight teams were split into two groups that played a round-robin group stage with playoff to determine seventh and eighth place. The winners of each group would compete for first and second place and the winners of the groups would be crowned champions.
There are 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and none for a loss.
