The 1893 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the sixth All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1893 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.
Wexford were represented by Young Irelands, a club based in the Selskar area of Wexford town, while Cork were represented by Dromtariffe. Young Irelands wore green jerseys with a gold harp, [1] Dromtariffe's original colours were green with a gold sash.[2]
Wexford led 1–1 to 0–1 early in the second half, when a pitch invasion began and several players were injured. The referee tried to restart the game with substitutes to replace injured players, but Cork refused. Wexford were awarded the title.[3]
Cork and Wexford did not meet again in the championship until 2010.[4]
