The Yugoslav football league system refers to the system of interconnected leagues in association football which was in place during the existence of SFR Yugoslavia and organized by the Football Association of Yugoslavia (FSJ). It was established in 1946 and lasted until the country's breakup in 1991.
The exact formats and numbers of levels changed several times, the last time in 1988 when the four inter-republic groups were introduced at third level. The groups were called that way because unlike the fourth tier groups they did not correspond territorially to Yugoslavia's six federal republics.
