It was the seventeenth edition of the competition limited to British athletes only, launched as an alternative to the AAA Championships, which was open to foreign competitors.

Myrtle Augee (shot put), Gowry Retchakan (400 m hurdles) and Debbie Marti (high jump) all defended their women's titles.

Runners Curtis Robb and Phylis Smith returned as UK champions, but at longer distances than they won at in 1992.

[1] The main international track and field competition for the United Kingdom that year was the 1993 World Championships in Athletics.

UK 200 m champion John Regis was runner-up at global level and Jonathan Edwards (triple jump) and Mick Hill (javelin throw) managed World Championships bronze.
