Irina Spîrlea and Caroline Vis were the defending champions, but Spîrlea did not compete this year. Vis teamed up with Barbara Schett, but withdrew before their semifinal match due to Schett's right toe infection. Amélie Mauresmo and Chanda Rubin won the title, defeating Ai Sugiyama and Nathalie Tauziat 6–4, 6–4 in the final. This was to be Rubin's 10th and final WTA doubles title.
