The 1961–62 Iraqi Central Cup Championship was the 6th season of the Iraqi Central League (the top division of football in central Iraq (i.e. the capital city of Baghdad) from 1956 to 1974). It kicked off on 24 October 1961 and ended on 27 April 1962. It was originally supposed to be played between eight teams, but Montakhab Al-Shorta withdrew and Amanat Al-Asima were disqualified, leaving six teams. It was the first competition in the history of Iraqi football that featured a round-robin format, meaning each team played each other team in the league once. The winners of the league were Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, who won their second title. They then went on to win the Al-Athar Cup, later renamed Al-Muthabara Cup, by beating Al-Kuliya Al-Askariya 4–2.[1][2]
