The 1989 Iron Bowl was decided on December 2, taking the game to Auburn University's Jordan Hare Stadium for the first time in the series. It was also the first game to be played outside Legion Field in 42 years. The Tigers defeated Alabama 30-20.

Tigers RB Stacy Danley rushed 28 times for 130 yards to help propel Auburn to a 27-10 lead. The Pat Dye-led Tigers held on for the win, earning their third consecutive SEC championship and fourth in seven years. Alabama coach Bill Curry, who fell to 0-3 against the Tigers, would soon depart for Kentucky.
