The 1961–62 Iraq FA Cup Championship was the 7th season of what is now known as the League of the Institutes (the top division of Iraqi football from 1948 to 1974), and it was open to teams from Baghdad. 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 season 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.
