The '''1929 season''' of the [[Mitropa Cup]] [[football (soccer)|football]] club tournament was won by [[Újpest FC]] in a two-legged final against [[Slavia Prague]]. This was the third edition of the tournament, and the first edition in which Italian clubs competed and Yugoslavian clubs did not compete. Clubs from Yugoslavia were barred from the competition after [[Alexander I of Yugoslavia|King Alexander]] declared a royal dictatorship on January 6 of that year, so [[Italy]] entered.

==FIGC Qualifications==
[[Italy]] was invited to join, but when the Mitropa began, the Final of the Italian Championship between Torino and Bologna was to play, so the FIGC decided for a playoff between their runners-up Milan and Juventus against two out of the three remaining most successful clubs of the country, Genoa and Inter. The runners-up had the home advantage.
