The 1929–30 Pittsburgh Pirates season was the franchise's last season in Pittsburgh. The Pirates had an extremely poor season, winning only five of 44 games to finish last in the American Division, missing the playoffs. The team moved in 1930 to Philadelphia and NHL hockey did not return to Pittsburgh until 1967.
