(C) Champion.
Notes:
  1. For reasons unclear, the Iraq Football Association decided to admit runners-up Al-Rasheed into the Asian Club Championship, rather than league champions Al-Tayaran.
  2. Al-Karkh took Al-Rasheed's place in the top division after Al-Rasheed were disbanded.
  3. Al-Zawraa qualified for the Arab Club Champions Cup by winning the Iraq FA Cup.
