The 1994–95 Irish League Cup (known as the Wilkinson Sword League Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the 9th edition of the Irish League Cup, Northern Ireland's secondary football knock-out cup competition. It concluded on 25 April 1995 with the final.
Linfield were the defending champions after lifting the cup for the third time with a 2–0 victory over Coleraine in the previous final. This season they went out in the second round to Cliftonville, who were the eventual runners-up after being defeated on penalties in the final by Ards.
