The 1947–48 Dublin and Belfast Inter-City Cup was the 7th 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).

Belfast Celtic and Distillery ended up sharing the title. Celtic won the first leg 2–1, and a date could not be found for the second leg, so both teams decided to share the trophy.
