The women's coxless pair competition at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia took place at Sydney International Regatta Centre.

All other boats progress to the repechage round, which offers a second chance to qualify for "Final A".

Unsuccessful boats from the repechage must proceed to final B, which determines the last four places, from 7–10.

The final ranking for this event was based on the order of finish.

The top three teams earned Olympic medals for placing first, second, and third, while the remaining "Final A" teams placed fourth through sixth, according to their final finish.
