The 1982–83 University College Dublin A.F.C. season started in July 1982 with what was their 10th successive pre-season tour of Asia since 1973. It was their fourth season in the League of Ireland since their election in 1979.
In September, the Students participated in the League of Ireland Cup, and were drawn in Group A with three fellow Dublin clubs: Bohemians, St Patrick's Athletic and Shamrock Rovers. UCD finished bottom of the group, having won only one point from their opening goalless draw against the Bohs.
