In the 21st season of Cuban National Series, Vegueros, from Pinar del Río Province, repeated as champions, finishing with a one-game lead over Citricultores, from Matanzas Province. Metropolitanos finished well ahead of its Havana rival, Industriales. The league's teams and length of schedule remained unchanged from the prior season.

In March 1982, the league was marred by a gambling-related corruption scandal, which saw at least 17 players and coaches suspended and arrested.^[1]
