This is a List of clubs in the Landesliga Bayern-Nord, including all clubs and their final placings from the first season in 1963–64 to 2010–11. The league, commonly referred to as the Landesliga Nord, is the second-highest football league in the state of Bavaria (German: Bayern) and the Bavarian football league system. It is one of three Landesligas in Bavarian football, the sixth tier of the German football league system. Until the introduction of the 3. Liga in 2008 it was the fifth tier.
Overview
Since the formation of the league in 1963, it has served as the tier below the Bayernliga, together with the central and the southern division of the Landesliga. Originally a tier-four league, it was demoted to tier-five status in 1994, when the Regionalligas were introduced. In 2008, it was then demoted to tier-six status, when the 3. Liga was established.
Originally, the Bezirksligas were the feeder leagues to the Landesliga Süd, of which there were, for the most part, four, two each in Upper and Lower Franconia. From 1988, Bezirksoberligas served as feeder leagues instead, having been established as a new tier between the Landesligas and the Bezirksligas. The two leagues below the Landesliga Nord have since been the Bezirksoberliga Unterfranken and the Bezirksoberliga Oberfranken.
