These are the results of the women's team all-around competition, one of six events for female competitors in artistic gymnastics at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. The qualification and final rounds took place on September 17 and 19 at the Sydney SuperDome.
The results were amended in 2010, 10 years after the competition, when the FIG discovered Chinese competitor Dong Fangxiao was underage at the time of the Sydney Olympics. As a result, the Chinese team was disqualified and stripped of its bronze medal, which was awarded to the US team.

Results
Qualification
Twelve national teams composed by six gymnasts competed in the team all-around event in the artistic gymnastics qualification round on September 17. The six highest scoring teams advanced to the final on September 19.
Final
1 Dong was found in 2010 to have been underage at the Olympics, with her results struck from the records by the FIG.
Subsequent review
After questions were raised about several athletes' ages at the 2008 Olympics, the International Gymnastics Federation also opened an investigation into two athletes from these games.
In February 2010, FIG ruled that Dong Fangxiao was only 14 during the Sydney Olympics, two years younger than the minimum age requirement for Olympic competition. Her results from the 1999 World Championships and 2000 Olympics were struck from the records, and the FIG recommended that the IOC disqualify the Chinese all-around team and strip them of the bronze medal.
The IOC agreed with the recommendation, and reallocated the medals on April 28, 2010. On August 11, 2010, the reallocated medals were awarded to the United States team at a formal awards ceremony during the United States National Championships at the XL Center.
