- 1929 American Cup
The 1929 American Cup was the annual open cup held by the
American Football Association .History
The American Cup had been suspended since 1925, but was held one last time this year. At the time, the
American Soccer League was boycotting theNational Challenge Cup which may have led to the American Cup being held. While previous editions had featured a single game, single elimination games, this year the semifinals were played in a home and away series.American Cup Bracket
