League of the Institutes (Arabic: دوري المؤسسات العراقي) was the highest national league in Iraq before the creation of the Iraqi League. At first, it consisted of only Baghdad-based teams, but teams from all of Iraq were allowed in 1973. It began its first season in 1961. During its 13 years of existence, the League of the Institutes was dominated by Al-Shorta who won almost half of the championships.
