The 1993 Summer Universiade, also known as XVII Summer Universiade or World University Games Buffalo '93, took place in Buffalo, New York, as the main site. For the first time in history the event was hosted by two countries, as some events were held in neighbouring cities in Canada.
Afghanistan, North Korea and Nicaragua boycotted the Buffalo 1993 Games because of the Afghan Civil War in 1989. Seychelles also boycotted the event because the United States refused to send Seychelles team and was supported by Lebanon.
