The 2000 Stanley Cup Finals was the championship series of the National Hockey League's (NHL) 1999–2000 season, and the culmination of the 2000 Stanley Cup playoffs. It was contested by the Eastern Conference champion New Jersey Devils against the Western Conference champion and defending Stanley Cup champion Dallas Stars. The Devils were led by captain Scott Stevens, head coach Larry Robinson and goaltender Martin Brodeur. The Stars were led by captain Derian Hatcher, head coach Ken Hitchcock and goaltender Ed Belfour. The Devils defeated the Stars 4–2 in a six-game series to win their second Stanley Cup in franchise history. This was the first, and along with 2001 the only Finals where two relocated teams faced each other.

New Jersey defeated the Florida Panthers 4–0, the Toronto Maple Leafs 4–2 and the Philadelphia Flyers 4–3 to advance to the Finals.

Dallas defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4–1, the San Jose Sharks 4–1 and the Colorado Avalanche 4–3 to advance to the Finals.

Despite New Jersey being a lower seed in conference play (4) than Dallas (2), New Jersey's 103 points were one more than Dallas, giving them home-ice advantage in the series. The Devils won the Cup in game six on a one-timer goal by Jason Arnott in double overtime. It was their second Stanley Cup overall and first since 1995.

For the Stars, this was the first time since the New York Islanders lost to the Edmonton Oilers in the 1984 Finals that a defending Stanley Cup champion lost in the Finals. This happened to the Devils themselves the following year when they lost to the Colorado Avalanche. This would be the last appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals for the Stars until 2020.

This was the first Finals that featured two relocated teams competing for the Stanley Cup, as well as the first Finals in which both teams had won the Stanley Cup previously after relocation.

Years indicated in boldface under the "Finals appearance" column signify that the player won the Stanley Cup in the given year.

The 2000 Stanley Cup was presented to Devils captain Scott Stevens by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman following the Devils 2–1 double overtime win over the Stars in game six.

The following Devils players and staff had their names engraved on the Stanley Cup

1999–2000 New Jersey Devils

In Canada, the series was televised on CBC. In the United States, this was the first year under the new joint American TV contract with the Disney-owned networks ESPN and ABC, with ESPN airing the first two games of the Cup Finals and ABC broadcasting the rest of the series. Devils team broadcasters Mike Miller and Randy Velischek called the series on local radio on WABC–AM 770 in New York City. In Dallas, Stars broadcasters Ralph Strangis and Daryl Reaugh called the series on WBAP 820 AM.

Shot it right through the top of the crease. Elias centered shot…SCORE! THE NEW JERSEY DEVILS! HAVE WON THE STANLEY CUP! JASON ARNOTT! WITH THE GAME WINNING OVERTIME GOAL!

— ABC's Gary Thorne calling Jason Arnott’s game winning goal in the second overtime period of Game 6

Stevens winds up, the shot - just wide! Kept in, though. Shot to the line, Stevens kept it in, Hull, flipped it, it hit Stevens. He put it in wide of the net for Elias to dig it out, RIGHT IN FRONT, THEY SCORE! The Stanley Cup goal is scored by Arnott! The New Jersey Devils are celebrating; Ed Belfour is in shock! Just now getting up. Two to one! The Devils win game six! The Devils of New Jersey have won the Stanley Cup!

— CBC's Bob Cole calling Arnott's Cup-winning goal in Game 6

Now Stevens for New Jersey held it in at the left point. Flipped it, right through the goal mouth area. Elias is going to chase it now, out front to Arnott, HE SCORES! Jason Arnott has scored, and the Devils have won the Cup! Jason Arnott! Jason Arnott has scored, and the Devils win it two to one, and the Stanley Cup has fallen from the Stars! The new millenium has its first Stanley Cup champion, and it's the New Jersey Devils! And for the second time in six years, the New Jersey Devils are the Stanley Cup champions!
