Iraqi clubs in the AFC Club Competitions. From its introduction in 2002 until the forming of the AFC Professional League in 2009, Iraqi clubs were allowed to enter the AFC Champions League (ACL). Despite reaching respectable results, none of the Iraqi teams managed to get further than the group stage.

Since Iraq did not meet the new AFC standards for the ACL, its clubs participated in the AFC Cup from 2009 until 2018 (however, the AFC gave Iraq one qualifying spot for the ACL for the 2014 edition only). Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya won the AFC Cup three times, in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Iraqi clubs returned to the ACL group stage in 2019.
