Three [[round-robin tournament]] [[Test cricket|matches]] were played with each team meeting each other once and the top two sides playing a final. A win was worth 12 points, a tie 6 points and no points were awarded for a draw or loss. In addition to this, bonus points were awarded to teams for [[Bowling (cricket)|bowling]] and [[Batting (cricket)|batting]] performances (see [[1998–99 Asian Test Championship#Scoring system|Scoring system]]). The venues of the round robin matches were rotated between the three countries: India ([[Calcutta]]), Sri Lanka ([[Colombo]]) and Pakistan ([[Lahore]]), while the final was held in [[Dhaka]], Bangladesh as a neutral venue.

Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by an innings and 175 in the final to become the first Asian Test Champions and received US$250,000 in prize money. Sri Lanka, the losing finalists, were awarded US$145,000, and India, the losers of the first round, US$100,000.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite news|last1=Thawfeeq|first1=Sa'adi|title=Inaugural Asian Test championhips|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/79324.html|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=11 February 1999|access-date=14 June 2017|archive-date=2 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170402171808/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/79324.html|url-status=live}}</ref> 'Man of the Series', [[Wasim Akram]], won US$20,000, while 'Man of the Match' winners received US$5,000 in prize money.

===Umpires===
The matches were officiated by two independent [[Umpire (cricket)|umpires]] of the ICC panel. This was the first time that this had occurred, traditionally one ICC umpire and one home umpire stand in Test matches. However, one home umpire was selected as the Third Umpire in each Test match. The ICC [[Match referee]] for the entire Championship was [[Cammie Smith]] of the West Indies.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

Neutral Umpires:
* [[David Shepherd (umpire)|David Shepherd]] (England)
* [[Russell Tiffin]] (Zimbabwe)
* [[Doug Cowie (umpire)|Doug Cowie]] (New Zealand)
* [[Rudi Koertzen]] (South Africa)
* [[Dave Orchard|David Orchard]] (South Africa)
* [[Steve Bucknor]] (West Indies)

[[Third umpire]]s:
* [[K. T. Francis]] (Sri Lanka)
* [[Srinivasaraghavan Venkataraghavan]] (India)
* [[Saleem Badar]] (Pakistan)

==Scoring system==

A scoring system was devised by the Asian Test Championship Technical Committee consisting of [[Duleep Mendis]] (tournament director), [[Ashantha De Mel]], [[Sunil Gavaskar]] and [[Majid Khan (cricketer, born 1946)|Majid Khan]].<ref name="ReferenceA"/> It was based on the systems used in the Asian countries' [[first-class cricket|domestic]] leagues.<ref>{{cite news|title=Asian Test Championships: Committee to suggest playing conditions|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/74733.html|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=28 December 1998|access-date=14 June 2017|archive-date=4 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160604053447/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/74733.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Bonus points were awarded to teams for good [[bowling (cricket)|bowling]] and [[batting (cricket)|batting]] performances (''see table below''). A maximum of 20 points could be gained in one match (including the 12 match winning points). The bonus bowling and batting points were confined to the first 100 overs of the first innings. The two teams with the highest number of points qualify for the final. If two teams are tied on points, the team with a better [[run rate]] in the first 100 overs will go through. If the final ends in a draw, the side with the higher bonus points will win.<ref>{{cite news|title=Points at stake in the Asian Test Championship|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/79323.html|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=11 February 1999|access-date=14 June 2017|archive-date=16 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170816014453/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/79323.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
