The 1994 Coupe de France final was a football match held at the Stade de France, Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis, France on 14 May 1994.

The match was played between AJ Auxerre and Montpellier HSC in what was the conclusion to the 1993–94 Coupe de France. Auxerre won the match 3–0 thanks to goals by Moussa Saïb, Gérald Baticle and Corentin Martins. It was the first time they had won the trophy.

Background

Neither AJ Auxerre nor Montpellier HSC had been particularly successful in the competition before. Between them, they had only reached the final on four previous occasions.

Montpellier, who were founded under the name Stade Olympique Montpelliérain, had won the cup twice previously. In 1929, Stade Olympique defeated Sète 3–0 in the final. Two years later, they finished runners-up to Club Français. In 1990, by then known as their current moniker, Montpellier defeated RC Paris 2–1 after extra time in the final.

Auxerre's only previous appearance in the final came in 1979 when they lost 4–1 to Nantes.
