1960–61 Cypriot Second Division

The 1960–61 Cypriot Second Division was the seventh season of the Cypriot second-level football league, with Enosis Agion Omologiton emerging as champions. The competition featured nine teams divided into two geographical groups: Nicosia-Keryneia-Famagusta and Limassol-Larnaca-Paphos.

The Nicosia-Keryneia-Famagusta Group consisted of four participating teams: Enosis Agion Omologiton, AEK Ammochostos, Othellos Famagusta, and PAEEK FC. At the end of the season, Enosis Agion Omologiton was crowned group champions after securing the most points among their peers.

In contrast, the Limassol-Larnaca-Paphos Group featured five teams: Amathus Limassol, APOP Paphos FC, Panellinios Limassol, Ethnikos Asteras Limassol, and Anagennisi Larnacas. Upon completion of the group stage, Panellinios Limassol emerged as champions.

The winners of each group then participated in a two-legged playoff to determine the overall champion of the Second Division. In this final phase, Enosis Agion Omologiton faced off against Panellinios Limassol and secured their title with a 5-6 win at home followed by a 3-2 victory away from home.

The competition was structured such that teams received three points for each win, two points for draws, and one point for losses. This format allowed the top-performing team in each group to advance as champions, ultimately culminating in Enosis Agion Omologiton's championship title.
