During the 1998–99 English football season, Norwich City F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.

Season summary

Norwich made a good start to the 1998–1999 campaign, with a 1–0 victory against East Anglia rivals Ipswich Town at Portman Road being the highlight and by Christmas 1998, the prospects of promotion back to the Premiership were looking good – but the club didn't win a home game again until 1 May. During the season on 18 March 1999, ambiguous midfielder Keith O'Neill joined Middlesbrough for a fee of £700,000.

Off the field on 17 December 1998, there were slight changes in the boardroom where Bob Cooper replaced Barry Lockwood as club chairman.
