The 1960 New South Wales Federation of Soccer Clubs (NSWSF) season was the fourth season of football in New South Wales under the administration of the federation since its breakaway from the NSW Soccer Football Association in January of 1957. The home and away league season began on the 20th of March with fourteen teams, the same amount as the previous season. Sydney Prague were minor premiers for a second consecutive season after twenty-six rounds of competition.

Once again a finals series was used decide the First Division champions of New South Wales in the format of a four team page playoff system. Canterbury-Marrickville prevented Prague again winning the league double, defeating them 5–2 in the grand final.
