(1st title) (11 goals) The 1980–81 Iraqi National Clubs First Division League was the 7th season of the competition since its foundation in 1974. The competition was originally meant to be held in a double round-robin format, but was later changed to a single round-robin tournament due to the Iran–Iraq War. Al-Talaba won the league title for the first time in their history.
Al-Shorta defeated Al-Zawraa 3–0 on the final day of the season on 19 May to move level with Al-Talaba on both points and goal difference. The next tiebreaker was number of wins, and therefore Al-Talaba were crowned champions having won two more matches than Al-Shorta.
