The 1999 Botswana Premier League, also known as the 1999 Castle Super League for sponsorship reasons, was the 22nd season of the Botswana Premier League. It was a "mini league" with only half the games played as the Premier League transitioned from the February-November football calendar to the August-May European calendar. [1]

It was won by Mogoditshane Fighters for the first time in their history under the tutelage of David Bright, who became the youngest Motswana to win a league title. [2] The team would also win the 1999 Botswana FA Cup to complete a historic double.
