(1st title) (18 goals) The 1979–80 Iraqi National Clubs First Division League was the 6th season of the competition since its foundation in 1974. Al-Shorta won their first Premier League title, qualifying them for the inaugural edition of the Arab Club Champions Cup which they went on to win.

The race for the title went to the last matchday; Al-Shorta beat Al-Minaa 3–1 in their last game to go top of the league but Al-Zawraa would win the league if they managed to beat Al-Shabab. Al-Zawraa drew their match 1–1, therefore Al-Shorta were crowned champions, winning the title on goal difference.
