1883–84 FA Cup


The 1883–84 Football Association Challenge Cup was the thirteenth staging of the FA Cup, England's oldest football tournament. One hundred teams entered, sixteen more than the previous season, although three of the one hundred never played a match.
Preston North End was disqualified from the competition in February 1884, after an FA committee determined that the club had violated rules against professionalism by offering financial inducements to Scottish players.
