A method for controlling interference in a Near Field Communication (NFC) network including a plurality of connections for direct communication between terminals is provided. The method includes receiving a signal transmitted by a first terminal through a first connection for direct communication with the first terminal, and measuring received power for the signal, measuring received power for each of interference signals upon receiving the interference signals caused by communication through connections other than the first connection among the plurality of connections, calculating a first Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR) using the received power for the signal and the received power for each of interference signals, and determining to one of maintain and release setup for each of the connections other than the first connection, if the first SIR is less than a threshold.
