The Corrs Unplugged is an album by Irish band The Corrs, released in 1999 (see 1999 in music). The album is part of MTV's Unplugged series. It was released internationally but not available in the United States. The song "No Frontiers" was sung by Sharon and Caroline, with Jim playing the piano. It is a cover of the Mary Black song.

This session was recorded live on October 5, 1999 (1999-10-05) in front of an audience at Ardmore Studios, Co. Wicklow, Ireland, and was released on CD, DVD, and VHS. The CD release features the songs in a completely different order to in which they were actually performed, yet the DVD and VHS retains the original song order. Also, it is mostly unedited, the CD edits out almost all of the talking between songs.
