1993 Murphy Cup playoffs
The 1993 Murphy Cup playoffs of Roller Hockey International began in August 1993, after the 1993 regular season. The eight teams that qualified, the top eight teams in the league, played a single elimination game for the quarterfinals and semifinals, and then the semifinals winners played a best-of-three series, with the third game a one 12–minute period, for the Murphy Cup.
The Finals ended on September 7, 1993, with the Anaheim Bullfrogs defeating the Oakland Skates two games to none to win the championship. They became the first team to win the Murphy Cup.
