Championship of cities (Ukrainian SSR)
{{Short description|Defunct football competition}}
{{main|Championship of the Ukrainian SSR}}
Championship of the Ukrainian SSR among cities teams ({{langx|uk|Чемпіонати УРСР для команд міст}}) was a football competition of the Ukrainian SSR before the formal establishing of the Soviet Union. The competition lost its importance with introduction of the Soviet Top League (All Soviet competitions Group A) in 1936 being converted to a regional championship of sports societies and departments.
Until transfer of capital of Ukraine from Kharkiv to Kiev in 1934, the Kharkiv city team was the winner almost every season expect of one. Sometimes at that time frame the western Ukraine became involved in league competitions that were established in Poland in 1927, Polish Football League (1927–1939).
