1993 Rhode Island Rams football team

The 1993 Rhode Island Rams football team was an American football team that represented the University of Rhode Island in the Yankee Conference during the 1993 NCAA Division I-AA football season. In their first season under head coach Floyd Keith, the Rams compiled a 4–7 record (2–6 against conference opponents) and finished fourth in the New England Division of the Yankee Conference.^[1]

The matchup with rival UMass was originally scheduled to be played as the Emerald Isle Classic at Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney, Ireland.^[2] In August the game was relocated from Ireland to McGuirk Stadium in Hadley, Massachusetts after it was determined the game would be a financial loss for each school.^[3]
