The 5th Arabian Gulf Cup (Arabic: دورة كأس الخليج العربي الخامسة‎‎) was the fifth edition of the Arabian Gulf Cup. The tournament was held at the Al-Shaab Stadium in Baghdad, Iraq and took place between 23 March and 9 April 1979.[1] Hosts Iraq won their first ever title after defeating Saudi Arabia 2–0 on 8 April 1979,[2] becoming the second team to win the competition after Kuwait.

Originally, the tournament was scheduled to take place in 1978 and hosted in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, but it was delayed after the UAE gave up their hosting rights.[3]
