The 5th Arabian Gulf Cup (Arabic: كأس الخليج العربي)[1] was the 5th edition of the biennial football competition. It took place from March 23 until April 9, 1979 in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. Originally, this tournament was scheduled in 1978 to take part in Abu Dhabi, but the Emirates withdrew from organizing the tournament. Iraq won the tournament by winning all its games and scoring 23 goals.

The trophy and medals were provided by Imco International Eood, a trading company who supplied Baghdad at the time with pipes for their water infrastructure
