The 1961 Canada Soccer Football Championship was the 40th staging of Canada Soccer's domestic football club competition. Montreal Concordia won the Carling's Red Cap Trophy after they beat Vancouver Firefighters in the Canadian Final at Faillon Stadium in Montréal on 29 July 1961.

This was the last year in which Canada Soccer featured professional clubs in its national club competition until 2008 when it inaugurated the new Canadian Championship.

Format

The eastern Canada based National Soccer League held a round robin series to determine a winner to play against the winner of the Eastern Professional Soccer League. The winner of that series would then face the western Canada representative.
