The 1999 FAI Cup Final was the deciding match of the 1998–99 FAI Cup. Bray Wanderers and Finn Harps contested the final. Two replays were required before Bray Wanderers won the competition. The initial match finished 0–0.[1] The first replay, which stood at 1–1 after 90 minutes,[2] finished 2–2 after extra-time.[2] Ahead of the second replay, the Football Association of Ireland announced that should the game again finish as a draw after extra-time, a penalty shoot-out would be played.[1] However, this was not necessary as Bray won the second replay 2–1.[3]
