The 1893–94 Scottish Districts season is a record of all the rugby union matches for Scotland's district teams.

History[]

Glasgow District beat Edinburgh District in the Inter-City match.^[1]

The Glasgow Herald makes the mistake of assuming every Inter-City fixture was an annual fixture in its report; in concluding that the Inter-City Glasgow - Edinburgh match started in 1858.^[1]

The East v West match was scheduled for February 1894.^[1] However it was played, as normal, at the end of January.^[2]

A joint Glasgow-Edinburgh side was selected for the first time. The team was to play a Rest Of Scotland side.^[1]

It was noted that the weather was so bad for the South v Cumberland match that few spectators turned up; and the pitch was almost unplayable. In addition two South players were replaced, as the first team players of Gala and Melrose were not represented at all: Renwick, the reserve Gala half-back; and McGregor, the captain of Gala Thistle had to be called in.^[3] These players evidently replaced Frater of Melrose and Dalgleish of Gala.
