The 1998–99 FIRA Tournament was a rugby union tournament organized by the Fédération Internationale de Rugby Amateur (FIRA).

The tournament did not assign a champion. Only minnow teams participated, because Romania, Georgia, Morocco, Portugal and Netherlands were still involved in qualification for the 1999 Rugby World Cup.

The teams were divided into different division and pools. Russia won the Gold or Division 2.
