This article lists the squads for the 2000 Women's Rugby League World Cup.

The lists are derived from the Official Programme, supplemented by contemporary newspaper articles and the New Zealand Rugby League Almanack 2000.[1][2] The Official Programme included pen portraits that named the occupation, position(s), club and past representative teams of most of the players.[1]
