The Iraqi Premier League (Arabic: دوري الممتاز العراقي, Dawri Al-Mumtaz) is the highest league in the league system of Iraqi football and currently contains the top 20 Iraqi football clubs. It was founded in 1974 and is controlled by the Iraq Football Association. The Iraqi Premier League is the top tier of an extensive pyramid-like structure, operating on a system of promotion and relegation with the Iraq Division One in which three teams get relegated and three teams get promoted each season.
Seasons run from September to May with the 20 teams playing 38 matches each (playing each team in the league twice, home and away), totalling 380 matches in the season. It is currently sponsored by Fuchs and thus officially known as the Fuchs Premier League. The league was formed in 1974 when the Iraq Football Association (IFA) replaced the League of the Institutes (a league including institutes teams as well as clubs) with the Iraqi Premier League (the first nationwide clubs-only league in Iraq).
Of the 73 teams to have competed since the inception of the league in 1974, 11 have won the title: Al-Zawraa (13), Al-Shorta (5), Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya (5), Al-Talaba (5), Erbil (4), Al-Rasheed (3), Naft Al-Wasat (1), Duhok (1), Al-Jaish (1), Salahaddin (1) and Al-Minaa (1). The current champions are Al-Zawraa, who won the title in 2015–16.
