List of 1. FC Nürnberg seasons

1. FC Nürnberg is a German football club based in Nuremberg, Bavaria. The club is the country's second most successful side, having been crowned German champions nine times,[1] and won more national championship titles than any other club before the inception of the Bundesliga.[citation needed]

Nürnberg were founding members of the Bundesliga, and won the league once in 1968.[1] The club has also won the DFB-Pokal four times.

Nürnberg have struggled to emulate the success of their earlier years, and have been relegated from the Bundesliga on eight occasions - more times than any other German club.[citation needed]
