The 1930 Albanian Championship was the first edition of the Albanian National Championship, which ran from 6 April until 6 July 1930.

The two teams with the most points at the end of the regular season of the competition would then enter a championship playoff where they would play each other twice and the champions would be crowned based on the aggregate score of the home and away ties, however this playoff was not actually played due to forfeit.
