McCarthy, who will be assisted again by Terry Connor, returns to management after his second spell as Ireland boss ended in April.
APOEL had been on the hunt for a new manager since Marinos Ouzounidis was sacked last week with the club sitting in 10th place in the 14-team Cypriot top flight.
Having reached the last 32 of the Europa League last season, APOEL failed to make the group stages this season after losing to Slovan Liberec in a play-off.
The club has won 28 Cypriot titles, the most recent of which came at the end of the 2018-19 campaign.
It’s a first club post for McCarthy since he left Ipswich Town in April 2018. The former Ireland defender has also previously been at the helm of Millwall, Sunderland and Wolves.
