The 1988–89 Iraqi Pan-National Clubs League (First Division) was the 15th season of the competition since its foundation in 1974 and the first that was played in a group stage format rather than a round-robin format. The name of the league was changed from Iraqi National Clubs League to Iraqi Pan-National Clubs League. Al-Rasheed won the title by defeating Al-Talaba on penalties in the final, to become the first team to win three Premier League titles in a row.

During the regional stage, if a match ended in a draw, it would go to extra time and then penalties if necessary. A team would earn three points if they won a game by two goals or more after normal time, two points if they won a game by one goal or in extra time, and one point if they won a penalty shootout.{{cite book|last1=Al-Sabti|first1=Ali|title=Iraqi League History 1974-2011|year=2014|location=Iraq}}{{cite book|last1=Al-Munshi|first1=Dr.Dhia|title=Iraqi Football Encyclopedia: Chico..
