The 1893 New Hampshire football team[a] was an American football team that represented New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts[b] during the 1893 college football season—the school became the University of New Hampshire in 1923.
This was the first year that the college fielded a football team, which lost the only game it played.
Teams played in the one-platoon system and the forward pass was not yet legal.
Games were played in two halves rather than four quarters.
