(C) Champion.
Notes:
  1. As holders, Al-Rasheed automatically qualified for the Arab Club Champions Cup meaning Iraq were given another slot in the competition. Al-Jaish were runners-up of the league and Al-Zawraa were runners-up of the FA Cup (both won by Al-Rasheed), but for reasons unclear, neither team were given the slot and it instead went to the league's fourth-placed team Al-Shabab.
