1992–93 Iraqi National League
The 1992–93 Iraqi National Clubs League (First Division) was the 19th season of the competition since its foundation in 1974. The league title was won by Al-Talaba for the fourth time in their history. The league was 69 rounds long (totalling 828 matches), the most rounds in any season in the competition's history, with the Iraq Football Association (IFA) deciding that no player could play more than 46 matches. Players that had been selected for the Iraq national team were released for international duty by their clubs after round 24, after which they did not participate in any more league matches.
