The 1934–35 Belfast Charity Cup was the 52nd edition of the Belfast Charity Cup, a cup competition in Northern Irish football.[1]

Linfield won the title for the 22nd time and 3rd consecutive year, defeating Belfast Celtic 3–2 in the final replay,[2] after the original final finished in a 1–1 draw.[3][4]

Due to fixture congestion, the replay was unable to be played until May 1936. This tournament also saw the permanent awarding of the Jubilee Cup to the winner of the final, meaning Linfield won two trophies in a match.[2]
