The 1899 Currie Cup was the sixth edition of the Currie Cup, the premier domestic rugby union competition in South Africa.

The tournament was won by Template:Rut Griqualand West for the first time, who won three of their matches in the competition and drew the fourth.[1]

However, the winner of the first five tournaments, Template:Rut Western Province, did not participate in the 1899 event due to the impending Anglo-Boer War, nor did Template:Rut Transvaal. Only Template:Rut Border, Template:Rut Eastern Province, Template:Rut Griqualand West and Rhodesia took part.[2]
