In the 21st season of Cuban National Series, Vegueros, from Pinar del Río Province retained their championship title, finishing one game ahead of Citricultores from Matanzas Province. Metropolitanos finished well ahead of its Havana rival, Industriales. The league’s teams and schedule length remained unchanged from the previous season.
In March 1982, the league was marred by a gambling-related corruption scandal that led to the suspension and arrest of at least 17 players and coaches.
