2025–26 Iraq FA Cup

The Iraq Cup (Arabic: كأس العراق), commonly known as the Iraq FA Cup, is an annual knockout football competition in men's domestic Iraqi football organised by the Iraq Football Association. First held in the 1948–49 season for clubs and institutions, it returned in the 1975–76 season as a clubs-only competition.

The tournament begins with the first round, which is played between the ten lowest-placed clubs from the Iraq Stars League, all 20 clubs from the Iraqi Premier Division League and the two highest-placed clubs from the Iraqi First Division League based on league positions in the previous season. The next four highest-placed clubs from the Iraq Stars League enter the competition in the second round, while the top six Iraq Stars League clubs receive a bye to the Round of 16. This is followed by the quarter-finals, the semi-finals and the final which is played as a single leg in Baghdad.

The winners of the competition are awarded a place in the next season's AFC Champions League Two group stage as well as qualifying for the Iraqi Super Cup where they play against the league champions at the start of the following season (or the league runners-up, if the cup winners have won the double).

Al-Zawraa are the most successful club with 16 titles. Duhok are the current holders, having beaten Zakho 5–3 on penalties after a 0–0 draw in the 2025 final.
