The 1950–51 season was the 3rd season of competitive football in Israel and the 25th season under the Israeli Football Association, established in 1928, during the British Mandate.

During this season not league football was played, as Hapoel and Maccabi factions in the IFA argued over the composition of the top division, and whether to include Maccabi Nes Tziona in Liga Alef. The disagreement was settled towards the end of the season, allowing league operation to renew at the start of the next season.

After almost 2 years of deliberations, a decision was finally given in Maccabi Petah Tikva's appeal over their elimination in the quarter finals, and a rematch against Hapoel Tel Aviv was set. However, after the completion of the quarter-finals, and playing 3 out of the 4 matches of the semi-finals, the competition was abandoned.

Non-IFA competitions

As IFA-organized competitions were suspended, each faction organized its own competition. Hapoel organized a two-tier league honouring the 30th anniversary of the Histadrut. The senior competition, contested by Hapoel Tel Aviv, Hapoel Jerusalem, Hapoel Ramat Gan, Hapoel Rishon LeZion , Hapoel Petah Tikva and Hapoel Haifa, was won by Hapoel Tel Aviv, with Hapoel Petah Tikva finishing as runners-up. The second tier was split into North and South regional divisions, won by Hapoel Namal Haifa and Hapoel Rehovot, respectively.
Maccabi organized a cup competition called President Cup, won by Maccabi Tel Aviv,^[1] followed by a cup competition called "Yad LaAsara" (lit. memorial to the ten, after 10 Maccabi members who fell during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War). This competition was abandoned as the dispute in the IFA was settled and the league restored.
