Unlike the last season where the competition was organised by Al-Talaba, this season was organised by the Iraq Football Association. The top eight teams of the 1991–92 Iraqi National League competed in the tournament. The competition started on 2 July 1992 and ended on 17 July 1992 where, in the final, held at Al-Shaab Stadium, Al-Talaba defeated Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya after extra time.[1] BackgroundAfter the Iraq Football Association adopted the Umm al-Ma'arik Championship, they held a meeting on 16 June 1992 to start the second edition of the competition which was decided to be from 2–17 July 1992 with the participation of the top eight teams from the 1991–92 Iraqi National League, instead of the top six, which included Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, Al-Zawraa, Al-Karkh, Al-Talaba, Al-Shorta, Al-Najaf, Al-Tayaran (now known as Al-Khutoot) and Al-Naft.
