Croatia national football team results (1940–99)

This is a list of the Croatia national football team results from 1940 to 1999.

The 1940s matches include four played by the Banovina of Croatia and another fifteen by the Independent State of Croatia. Then, the Socialist Republic of Croatia played a 1956 match against Indonesia.

It then qualified for the 1998 FIFA World Cup finals, where it finished third and won the bronze medals, which was followed by its first ever unsuccessful qualifying campaign, the UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying.
