Both the state's senate and house of representatives voted along party lines, with the senate voting 30-20. The house completed the second and final part of the override with a vote of 72-48. The bill will repeal the current law, which bans abortions after 20 weeks.
The move is expected to deal a fresh blow to one of the last bastions of abortion access in the south, which has been significantly curtailed after the supreme court overturned the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling last year.
It is part of a growing push across the US to further cripple abortion protection. On Tuesday Republicans were also pushing for stricter abortion bans in South Carolina and Nebraska. Both debates are continuing despite the party's recent losses in states where it is focusing on abortion limits.
On Saturday, North Carolina's governor, Roy Cooper, a Democrat, had honoured a vow he made to his state to protect reproductive rights by vetoing Senate Bill 20 during a public rally in Raleigh, which was attended by thousands.
Cooper condemned the decision to override his veto and move forward with the ban, and said he would do "everything I can to protect abortion access in North Carolina, because women's lives depend on it".
