The 1969–70 Iraq Central FA Premier League was the 22nd season of the Iraq Central FA League (the top division of football in Baghdad and its neighbouring cities from 1948 to 1973). Eleven teams competed in the tournament, which was played in a single round-robin format rather than a double round-robin format, so each team only played each other once. Aliyat Al-Shorta won their third league title and the fourth title for the Police teams that were later replaced in the top-flight by the singular club Al-Shorta. They clinched the title with a 1–1 draw against Al-Sikak Al-Hadeed on 10 April 1970.
As champions, Aliyat Al-Shorta entered the 1971 Asian Champion Club Tournament (now known as the AFC Champions League), becoming the first ever Iraqi team to participate in a major continental club competition. Al-Bareed's Kadhim Abboud was top scorer with eight goals.[1]
