Iraq Central FA Premier League

Iraq Central FA First Division League Iraq Central FA Perseverance Cup (4th title) (7 titles)

The Iraq Central FA Premier League, also known as the Iraq Central FA First Division League and previously named the Iraq FA Baghdad First Division League (), was the top-level division of football in Baghdad and its neighbouring cities between 1948 and 1973.

It was controlled by the Iraq Central Football Association and was played under a variety of different formats including a double-elimination format, a round-robin format and a double round-robin format. It was one of several regional league championships played in Iraq at the time, with others including the Basra, Kirkuk and Mosul leagues. The last champions of the competition were Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, who won the title in the 1972–73 season.

The regional leagues folded in 1973 and were replaced by the Iraqi National First Division League, before the Iraqi National Clubs First Division League was established in 1974. The competition has since often been referred to as the League of the Institutes () due to containing a number of teams representing different Iraqi institutions.
