The 1998–99 season was Sydney United's sixteenth in the NSL. After a major off‑season reshuffle that saw the departures of Zeljko Kalac, Marko Rudan, Paul Bilokapic, Jason Culina, Robbie Hooker, and Stuart Munro, the club strengthened with the arrivals of Walter Ardone, Nathan Day, veteran goalkeeper Mike Gibson, and returning players Joe Caleta and Ante Moric.
Under second‑year head coach David Mitchell, United claimed the NSL Premiership, finishing one point ahead of South Melbourne. In the finals, they lost the two leg Major Semi-Final to South Melbourne but rebounded with a 2–1 win over Perth Glory in the Preliminary Final. The Grand Final again pitted them against South Melbourne, where United were defeated 3–2 at Olympic Park.
Mile Sterjovski finished as the club's top scorer with 18 goals, while Dave Mitchell was named the NSL coach of the year.
