The 1984 Aloha Bowl, part of the 1984 bowl game season and the third Aloha Bowl, took place on December 29, 1984, at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii. The game featured the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and the SMU Mustangs of the Southwest Conference, meeting for the first time in 26 years. SMU won the game 27–20 in front of a then Aloha Bowl-record crowd of 41,777. This was SMU's last bowl game appearance and bowl win before the Death penalty shut the program down in 1987 as a result of a scandal.
