The Scottish FA Cup was played for the 11th time in 1883/84 . The most important football cup competition in Scottish club football was directed and hosted by the Scottish Football Association. It began on September 8, 1883 and ended with the final on February 16, 1884. As the defending champion, FC Dumbarton started the competition that had won in the final of the previous year against FC Vale of Leven . In this year's Scottish Cup final, record winner FC Queen's Park met last year's winner from Dumbarton. Queen's Park reached the Scottish Cup final for the seventh time overall and Dumbarton for the fourth time. Queen's Park won the final without a fight on a walkover because Vale of Leven did not have enough players. Queen's Park won the trophy for the 7th time in the club's history. Starting in 1883/84, a player had to throw the ball over his head with two hands when throwing in. In addition, the goal had to have a crossbar and the kick-off could only be kicked forward.
