The 1995–96 Irish League was the 95th edition of the Irish League, the highest level of league competition in Northern Irish football. The league consisted of 8 teams, and Portadown won the championship.
A restructuring during the 1995 pre-season also saw a First Division added below the Premier Division, with regular promotion and relegation between the two leagues being established from this season onwards.
