The 1899 Delaware football team represented Delaware College—now known as the University of Delaware—as an independent during the 1899 college football season.[1] The team posted a 6–2 record.

Herbert Rice began his third season as the team's head coach but resigned after the first game to play football for the Duquesne Country and Athletic Club of Pittsburgh.[2][3] By late October, Delaware was being led by a coach Wentz from Princeton,[4] and by early November, By Dickson was coaching along with Wentz.[5] Rice returned from Pittsburgh after Delaware had finished its season.[6][7]
