Location	State Sports Centre, Olympic Park, Sydney, New South Wales
Participants	68 from 25 countries
Format	Round-robin qualifying pools, followed by single-elimination tournament. Top 8 seeded directly into single-elimination.

As usual, the tournament came down to two Chinese teams playing each other in the final. The final was a re-match of the 1999 World Championships, in which Wang Nan and Li Ju had defeated Sun Jin and Yang Ying. But the final was not close, as Wang/Li won easily in three games, 21-18, 21-11, 21-11. The bronze medal went to the Korean team of Ryu Ji-Hae and Kim Moo-Kyo, who barely defeated the Hungarian team of Csilla Bátorfi and Krisztina Tóth . Bátorfi and Tóth led by two games, but lost 3-2, and 21-19 in the fifth game.
