1948–49 Dublin and Belfast Inter-City Cup

The 1948–49 Dublin and Belfast Inter-City Cup was the 8th and final edition of the Dublin and Belfast Inter-City Cup, an association football cup competition featuring teams from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Teams from outside Dublin and Belfast competed, but played their home matches in either Dublin (if based in the Republic of Ireland) or Belfast (if based in Northern Ireland). Each round was one-legged rather than the two-legged format of previous editions.

Shamrock Rovers won the title for the 4th time, defeating Dundalk 3–0 in the final.
