2000 PBA All-Filipino Cup

The 2000 PBA All-Filipino Cup or known as the 2000 Alaxan PBA All-Filipino Cup for sponsorship reasons, is the Philippine Basketball Association All-Filipino Conference of the 2000 PBA season. The Alaska Milkmen defeated the Purefoods TJ Hotdogs 4–1 in the finals series to clinch their first PBA championship since their 1998 title run.

The TJ Hotdogs entered the Finals after PBA commissioner Jun Bernardino nullified two wins of the Tanduay Rhum Masters in the semifinals and ordered those games to be replayed after Sonny Alvarado was ordered by the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation to be deported for using tampered papers to prove his citizenship; the semifinals would have had reset with Purefoods leading 2–1 but Tanduay was able to secure a temporary restraining order to postpone the game twice, the first time a PBA game was postponed by a court order. Tanduay eventually relented and was beaten in Game 4 a week later when Purefoods' Boyet Fernandez converted a three-point shot with 0.2 left in overtime to clinch the Finals berth.
