The 1975–76 Irish Cup was the 96th edition of the Irish Cup, the premier knock-out cup competition in Northern Irish football.

Carrick Rangers won the cup for the 1st time, defeating Linfield 2–1 in the final at The Oval and becoming only the third (and to the date, the most recent) non-senior side to win the cup.[1]

The holders Coleraine were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Carrick.[2]
