The 1993 Murphy Cup playoffs of Roller Hockey International (RHI) began on August 21, 1993, after the conclusion of the 1993 RHI regular season. Game 1 of the Finals was held on September 19, while Game 2 was held on September 21. The Anaheim Bullfrogs defeated the Oakland Skates in two games in the Finals to capture the inaugural Murphy Cup championship.

Playoff seeds[edit]

After the regular season, eight teams qualified for the playoffs. The Anaheim Bullfrogs were the Buss Division champions and the Best Overall Record winners with the best record in the RHI at 27 points, which was one point away from a perfect season.

Playoff bracket[edit]

In the first round, the teams from the division with two qualifying teams are matched against each other, while the two divisions with the three qualifying teams are matched against each other, with the highest seed in a division plays the lowest seed in the other. In the second round, the highest remaining seed is matched against the second lowest remaining seed, and the second highest remaining seed is matched against the lowest remaining seed. The first two rounds of the playoffs are single elimination, while the Murphy Cup Finals are a best-of-three series, with the third game being a 12–minute mini-game. The higher-seeded team is awarded home floor advantage.
