The following skaters qualified for the 1999–2000 Junior Grand Prix Final, in order of qualification.[1][2][3][4]

There were eight qualifiers in singles and six in pairs and ice dance.

2nd   Valery Medvedev   Anna Lundström   Meliza Brozovich / Anton Nimenko   Julia Golovina / Denis Egorov
3rd   Evan Lysacek   Carina Chen   Larisa Spielberg / Craig Joeright   Caroline Truong / Sylvain Longchambon

There was an unbreakable tie in 4th place standings in the pairs event, and so Chantal Poirier / Craig Buntin of Canada and Aliona Savchenko / Stanislav Morozov of Ukraine both qualified in 4th position. There were no 5th place qualifiers in pairs, because that spot was left empty as a result of the tie for fourth. The two teams had tied exactly, down to the 7th tiebreaker. In later years, a different final tiebreaker was added, one which would have allowed for this tie to be broken.
