The 1999 Jeep Oahu Bowl was a college football bowl game, played as part of the bowl game schedule of the 1999 NCAA Division I-A football season. The second edition of the Oahu Bowl, it was the latter part of a Christmas Day doubleheader at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, preceded by the Aloha Bowl. Televised by ESPN, the game on December 25 matched the Hawaiʻi Warriors, co-champions of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), and the favored Oregon State Beavers of the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10), who were making their first bowl game appearance in 35 years.[3]

Tied at ten at halftime, Hawaiʻi scored thirteen straight points to win 23–17 and finished the season at 9–4; the Beavers fell to 7–5.[4][5][6] The victory capped one of the most memorable seasons in school history as Hawaiʻi had seen an improvement of nine wins over the previous winless season in 1998.[7]
