The 1998–99 Iraq FA Cup was the 22nd edition of the Iraq FA Cup as a club competition. The tournament was won by Al-Zawraa for the second time in a row and for the 13th time in their history, beating Al-Talaba 1–0 after extra time in the final with a golden goal by Mohamed Jassim.[1][2][3] Al-Zawraa also won the 1998–99 Iraqi Premier League to complete the double.

On 14 December 1998, Al-Shorta broke the record for the most goals scored in a single half of a match in Iraqi football, putting 10 goals past Al-Bahri in the first 45 minutes as the game ended 10–1. Hashim Ridha and Arkan Mahmoud both scored hat-tricks while Younis Abid Ali scored a brace and Abdul-Hussein Jawad and Qais Issa scored one each. Hashim Ridha's total of 14 goals in the competition is a record for the most goals scored by a player in an Iraq FA Cup tournament.

In the first round, Erbil beat Nineveh side Makhmur 13-0 in the Iraqi FA Cup, which remains as the largest margin of victory in the competition's history.[4]
