In their third year under head coach Maurice Connor, the team compiled a 4–4–1 record. W. C. T. O'Sullivan was the team captain.

The Holy Cross Football Fact Book shows a 5–3–1 record for 1900, but the results table does not match contemporary press reports, with the Andover, Colby and Wesleyan games given the wrong dates, and a win over Worcester Academy shown instead of the loss to Williams.

Holy Cross played its home games at two off-campus fields in Worcester, Massachusetts, the Worcester Oval and the Worcester College Grounds.
