The 1954–55 Rheinlandliga was the third season of the highest amateur class of the Rhineland Football Association under the name of 1. Amateurliga Rheinland. It was a predecessor of today's Rheinlandliga.

Rhineland Football Association organization

The Rhineland Football Association, the FVR, is one of 21 state organisations of the German Football Association, the DFB, and covers the northern part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

The Amateurliga Rheinland was the highest football league in the region of the Rheinland FA and the third tier of the German football league system from its inception in 1952 to the formation of the Oberliga Südwest and the Verbandsliga Rheinland below it in 1978.

The Rheinlandliga is a German amateur football division administered by the Rhineland Football Association, one of the 21 German state football associations. Being the top flight of the Rhineland state association, the Verbandsliga is currently a level 6 division of the German football league system.

The 1. Amateurliga was below II. Division Southwest until 1963 and therefore the third-class in the hierarchy. In the seasons 1956–57 to 1962–63 the league was played in two divisions (East and West). The two division champions played to determine the Rhineland champion. With the introduction of the regional league Southwest as second highest class, starting in the 1963–64 season, the Amateur league Rheinland was again combined into one division. Beginning in the 1974–75 season, the league played a role as a sub-team to the newly introduced 2. Bundesliga, where the Rhineland champion played in a relegation against the champion of the Verbandsliga Südwest and the Saarlandliga, for a position in the south divisions of the 2. Bundesliga. Starting from the 1978–79 season, the Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar was introduced as the highest amateur class and this class was renamed to the "Verbandsliga Rheinland" and since then only fourth class.

The 2. Bundesliga is the second division of professional football in Germany. The 2. Bundesliga is ranked below the Bundesliga and above the 3. Liga in the German football league system. All of the 2. Bundesliga clubs qualify for the DFB-Pokal, the annual German Cup competition. A total of 125 clubs have competed in the 2. Bundesliga since its foundation.

The Verbandsliga Südwest is a German amateur football division administered by the Southwestern Football Association, one of the 21 German state football associations. Being the top flight of the Southwestern state association, the Verbandsliga is currently a level 6 division of the German football league system.

The Saarlandliga is currently the sixth tier of the German football league system in the German federal state of Saarland. It is a new league, introduced at the end of the 2008-09 season.

Results

Rhineland champion was, as in the previous season, VfL Trier,^[1] which this time won the relegation round for the II. Division southwest and moved up. Runner up, SV Niederlahnstein, participated as a Rhineland representative in the German Football Amateur Championship in 1955 and failed in the group stage. VfB Lützel, FC Urbar and SV Wittlich had to move down to the 2. amateur league after this season. For the following season, 1955–56, SG Andernach, SV Niederfischbach, TuS Konz and VfL Bad Ems moved up from the 2. Amateur league, as well as the descendant from the II. Division, SC 07 Bad Neuenahr.^[2]

SpVgg was the best known of these predecessor sides, having taken part in the first division play in the Gauliga Mittelrhein and Gauliga Moselland under the Third Reich and in the Fußball-Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar after World War II.
