An erosion prevention system and method of use for diverting and deflecting water from an irrigation pipe to inhibit erosion of ground adjacent to the irrigation pipe includes an irrigation pipe extending upwardly from the ground. An open top end of the irrigation pipe permits water in the irrigation pipe to exit the irrigation pipe and irrigate the ground. A deflection plate is positioned around the irrigation pipe and placed on the ground. The deflection plate deflects and disperses the water exiting the irrigation pipe to inhibit the water from eroding the ground adjacent to the irrigation pipe.
