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]
