The Iraq FA Kirkuk League (Arabic: دوري الاتحاد العراقي لمنطقة كركوك‎) was the top-level division of football in Kirkuk between 1948 and 1973. It was controlled by the Kirkuk branch of the Iraq Football Association and was one of four regional league championships played in Iraq at the time, with the others being in Baghdad, Basra and Mosul. The first champions of the competition were Al-Dhahab Al-Aswad, who won the title in both the 1948–49 and 1949–50 seasons.[1][2]
