The 1998–99 Iraq FA Cup was the 22nd edition of the Iraq FA Cup. The tournament was won by Al-Zawraa for the second time in a row and for the 13th time in their history, beating Al-Talaba 1–0 after extra time in the final with a Golden goal by Mohamed Jassim.[1] Al-Zawraa's previous results in the tournament included a 3–1 aggregate win over Al-Najaf (0–1 and 3–0), a 6–1 aggregate win over Al-Shatra (3–0 and 3–1), a 7–4 aggregate win over Duhok (4–2 and 3–2) and a 6–4 aggregate win over Al-Shorta (2–2 and 4–2).[2][3] Al-Zawraa also won the 1998–99 Iraqi Premier League to complete the double.

On 14 December 1998, Al-Shorta broke the record for the most goals scored in a single half of a match in Iraqi football, putting 10 goals past Al-Bahri in the first 45 minutes as the game ended 10–1. Hashim Ridha and Arkan Mahmoud both scored hat-tricks while Younis Abed Ali scored a brace and Abdul-Hussein Jawad and Qais Issa bagged one each. Hashim Ridha's total of 14 goals in the competition is a record for the most goals scored by a player in an Iraq FA Cup tournament.
