The invention discloses a winding method of a high-temperature superconducting cable, and belongs to the field of superconducting technologies. A braiding method is adopted, and a plurality of superconducting tapes are turned over upward and downward, i.e., different superconducting tapes are alternately wound on a cylindrical framework in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, thereby obtaining a high-temperature superconducting cable. Thus, no obvious distinction of inner and outer layers exists among the plurality of superconducting tapes, and the superconducting tapes are isotropic; and as for the adoption of the metal framework, an internal supporting function is achieved, and a shunting effect can also be achieved when a fault occurs in a superconducting layer. No obvious distinction of inner and outer layers exists among the plurality of superconducting tapes, the superconducting tapes are isotropic, and the defect in the prior art that distinction between inside and outsidealways exists among different superconducting tapes, thereby causing anisotropy in a superconducting cable, is overcome.
