The 1999 South Africa Sevens was the first annual Rugby Sevens tournament held in South Africa as part of the IRB Sevens World Series. The competition took place on 10–11 December 1999 at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch,[1][2] and was the second tournament in the 1999–2000 World Sevens Series.

The hosts, South Africa were eliminated in the semi-finals before Fiji defeated New Zealand 12–10 in the final to win their first sevens title for the series.[2] Stellenbosch only hosted the South Africa Sevens tournament for one season and the event moved to Durban for the 2000–01 series.
