The 1930–31 season was the 4th season of competitive football in the British Mandate for Palestine under the Eretz Israel Football Association. During the season, the Arab Palestine Sports Federation was established as a rival to the Jewish-controlled EIFA.

An attempt was made to organize a Palestine League, with the participation of 11 clubs, both Jewish and British, in the top division and a second division divided into four regional leagues. However, league matches were suspended in November 1930 as British military teams were ordered not to play Jewish teams due to the tensions between the British Mandate government and the Jewish community following the publication of the Passfield white paper. An attempt to revive the league with Jewish clubs only also failed.

Note: A match between Maccabi Petah Tikva and British Police was played and ended with a 5–4 victory to Petah Tikva. However, the result was annulled.
