The 1899–1900 season was the 27th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level entering the Scottish Qualifying Cup. In addition Dumbarton played in the Dumbartonshire Cup.

Scottish Qualifying Cup[]

In their only 'national' competition, Dumbarton were knocked out in the second round of the Scottish Qualifying Cup by Vale of Leven and thus failed to qualify to play in the Scottish Cup for the first time since its inception.

Friendlies[]

For the third season running there were no league fixtures, and attractive 'friendlies' were becoming more difficult to arrange.

A dwindling fixture list saw only 11 'friendly' matches played during the season, although this included a creditable draw against Celtic and a match against Aberdeen which celebrated the opening of Pittodrie Park. In all 4 were won, 1 drawn and 6 lost, scoring 23 goals and conceding 34.
