• USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships

American football

College championship

• College football national championship – Yale Bulldogs

Events

• At the 1882 rules meeting, Walter Camp proposes that a team be required to advance the ball a minimum of five yards within three downs. These down-and-distance rules, combined with the already-established line of scrimmage, transform the game from a variation of rugby or association football into the distinct sport of American football.

• Tottenham Hotspur founded as Hotspur FC by members of the Hotspur Cricket Club in Tottenham.

Apart from Sullivan's famous 1889 fight against Jake Kilrain, this is the last major bareknuckle contest fought under London Prize Ring Rules. Sullivan will increasingly fight under Queensberry Rules from now on using gloves and will become the first generally recognised World Heavyweight Champion from 1885.
