The 1970–71 City Cup was the 66th edition of the City Cup, a cup competition in Northern Irish football.[1]

The tournament was won by Bangor for the 1st time.[2]

After experimenting with a different format the previous season the tournament reverted to its traditional league format with all 12 clubs involved, however this would be the last time the tournament was structured this way. Linfield's home match against Derry City did not take place after Derry refused to travel to Windsor Park; Linfield were subsequently awarded the points.[3]
