The 2000 Georgetown Hoyas football team represented Georgetown University as a member of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) during the 2000 NCAA Division I-AA football season. Led by eighth-year head coach Bob Benson, the Hoyas compiled an overall record of 5–6 with a mark of 3–2 in conference play, placing fourth in the MAAC.[1] Brett Crowder, Gharun Hester, Ryan O'Donoghue and Reid Wakefield were the team captains.[2] Georgetown played its home games at Kehoe Field, on the university campus in Washington, D.C.
