The 1999 NCAA Rifle Championships were contested at the 20th annual NCAA-sanctioned competition to determine the team and individual national champions of co-ed collegiate rifle shooting in the United States. The championship was hosted by Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont.[1]

Alaska topped the team standings, finishing 108 points (6,276–6,168) points ahead of Navy. This was the Nanooks' second team title.

First the first time since 1980, one shooter, Kelly Mansfield (Alaska), captured the individual national championship for both the smallbore and air rifle events.
