The 1992 Major League Baseball season was the 111th season in the history of the Pittsburgh Pirates and their 106th in the National League. This was their 23rd season at Three Rivers Stadium. For the third consecutive season, the Pirates won the National League East title with a record of 96–66.
In an NLCS rematch with the Atlanta Braves, the Pirates went down 3-1 before forcing a Game 7 back in Atlanta. They took a 2-0 into the bottom of the 9th inning, needing just one out to reach the World Series. But their season came to an abrupt end when they allowed 3 runs to the Braves, capped by Francisco Cabrera's two-run RBI single to score David Justice and an injured Sid Bream, a former Pirate. The loss was so agonizing for the Pirates that it contributed to a 20-year drought that saw them fail to clinch a winning season or postseason berth until 2013. As of 2024 this is the Pirates' most recent division title, making it the longest such active drought in Major League Baseball.
- ^ From 1882 to 1906, the team played in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, which became annexed by Pittsburgh as the North Side in 1907.
