The Mitropapokal 1930 was the 4th edition of the international cup competition of the Central European football club teams. The best teams from Austria , Hungary , Czechoslovakia and Italy , who had replaced the Yugoslav teams a year earlier , took part. It was mostly the champions and cup winners of the respective countries. The participants played in a pure cup mode with two legs in the most important continental football competition in the period before the Second World War. In the event of a tie after two games, a playoff was played. All eight clubs started in the preliminary round or in the quarter-finals. The defending champion Újpest Budapest failed in the quarterfinals in the playoff against AS Ambrosiana, today's Inter Milan.
The final took place within two weeks on November 2 and 12, 1930 in Prague and Vienna. Sparta Prague and SK Rapid Wien, who had already met in the first Mitropacup final in 1927, qualified, when the Czechoslovaks won with a total score of 7: 3. For Rapid it was the third final in the Mitropacup in just four years. At home, Prague surprisingly lost 2-0 - it was the first home defeat in a Mitropacupendspiel. A 3-2 away win was not enough for the second Sparta victory in this competition and so Rapid brought the cup to Austria for the first time. The top scorer was Giuseppe Meazza of Milan with seven goals.
