Rankings from The Sports Network poll

The 1999 Hofstra Flying Dutchmen football team represented Hofstra University during the 1999 NCAA Division I-AA football season. It was the program's 59th season, and they competed as an Independent.[1][2] The Flying Dutchmen earned a berth into the 16-team Division I-AA playoffs as the #3 seed, but lost in the quarterfinals to Illinois State, 37–20.[1] They finished #5 in the final national poll and were led by 10th-year head coach Joe Gardi.

The 1999 season was the last in which Hofstra went by the nickname "Flying Dutchmen."[3] Toward the end of the end of the 1999–2000 academic year, the school decided to change the nickname for their sports teams to "Pride" effective the following school year.[4]
