Irrigation is one of important process in pineapple planting, it caused pineapple needs one in its cultivation which means it will face two kind of season (dry and rainy season) in Indonesia. So that, irrigation process is a routine which is done by PT. Great Giant Food (GGF), East Lampung to keep their pineapple’s growth in optimum condition. PT. GGF choose two types of irrigation system, there are sprinkler and drip irrigation, but they do not have enough research to know the efficiency of their irrigation systems. Because of that reason, this research is aimed to know the efficiency of irrigation system in pineapple cultivation of PT. GGF. Researchers used random sampling to collect the data, then they counted the value of CU and DU of irrigation system. This research showed that the value of CU and SU are 73,032% and 52,84%, respectively. That number of CU and SU showed that drip irrigation of pineapple cultivation in PT. GGT is good enough, but the drip irrigation is needed to be developed because the number of SU is really high which indicated that the emitter debit of drip irrigation has a low homogeneity.
