==Overview==
The Amateurliga Südwest was formed in 1952 in the southern half of the state of [[Rheinland-Pfalz]]. Before its inception, three separate leagues operated in the area as the highest level of play. The league was a feeder league to the [[2nd2. Oberliga Südwest]]. From 1952 until the establishment of the Oberliga Südwest in 1978, it was the third tier of the football league system.
 
The winner of the Amateurliga Südwest was not automatically promoted to its superior league but rather had to take part in a [[Promotion to the 2nd2. Bundesliga (Football)|promotion play-off]]. The champion would have to compete with the winners of the [[Amateurliga Saarland|Amateurligas Saarland]] and [[Amateurliga Rheinland|Rheinland]].
 
Until 1933, the region covered by the Südwest FA was politically part of two other [[Germany|German]] states. The south, the [[Palatinate (region)|Pfalz]] region, was part of [[Bavaria]] and the north, the [[Rheinhessen]] region, was part of [[Hessen]]. After the war, these regions were incorporated into the new [[States of Germany|state]] of [[Rheinland-Pfalz]]. The separation of these areas from their original states results from the outcome of [[World War II]] when they became part of the [[France|French]] occupation zone, while Hessen and Bavaria where in the [[United States|US]] zone.
 
The league was established in 1952 with sixteen teams, the winner gaining promotion to the 2nd2. Oberliga Südwest. The founder members were:
 
*[[BSC Oppau]]

*[[SV Mundenheim]]
 
With the introduction of the [[Fußball-Bundesliga|Bundesliga]] in 1963 the Amateurliga was placed below the new [[Regionalliga Südwest (1963-741963–1974)|Regionalliga Südwest]] but still retained its third-tier status. It continued to do so after the introduction of the [[2nd2. Bundesliga Süd (1974-811974–81)|2nd2. Bundesliga Süd]] in 1974.
 
The [[1. FC Kaiserslautern]] II holds the record for years in the league, having spent 21 continuous seasons in it from 1957 to 1978.

==Disbanding of the Amateurliga Südwest==
In 1978, the Oberliga Südwest was formed to allow direct promotion to the 2nd2. Bundesliga Süd for the Amateure champion of the area. The teams placed one to five gained entry to the Oberliga while the next eleven teams were put into the new Verbandsliga Südwest, now the fourth tier of the football league system. The bottom four teams were relegated to the [[Bezirksklasse|Bezirksliga]].
