The 1961–62 North-South Cup was the 2nd and final edition of the North-South Cup, an association football cup competition featuring teams from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.[1]

Glenavon won the competition, defeating Shelbourne 2–1 on aggregate in the two-legged final.[2][3][4][5] Due to fixture congestion, most of the tournament (mainly from the quarter-finals onwards) was not played until the 1962–63 season.[6]
