Note 1: Abbreviations in the results for matches where the result is known, but the score is unavailable: W = Won; D = Drew; L = Lost; U = No record of result or if the match was played.

Note 2: Round 1 Brisbane Athletic vs. Alloway was ordered to be replayed due to a successful protest from Alloway that Brisbane Athletic played unregistered players.

Note 3: Round 5 Bush Rats vs. Brisbane Athletic. A protest by Bush Rats against Brisbane Athletic fielding an unregistered player was dismissed. If successful, the top four teams would have finished on 5 points and Bush Rats would have competed in the semi-finals.

Note 4: The draw for the semi-finals was determined at the QBFA meeting 12/09/1893 (Brisbane Courier 14/09/1893). It seems to have been an open draw with no advantage given to Brisbane Athletic for heading the table after the regular season.
