1999 Rugby World Cup – repechage qualification

In the 1999 Rugby World Cup qualifiers, there were two repechage positions available to qualify for the final tournament. Seven teams qualified for the repechage, three representing Europe and one each from Africa, Asia, Americas, and Oceania.

The teams were split into two groups and played a knockout format in each group with the African team given a bye into the second round. The two group winners were Uruguay and Tonga who secured the final two berths at RWC 1999.
