1990–91 Bayernliga

The 1990–91 season of the Bayernliga, the third tier of the German football league system in the state of Bavaria at the time, was the 46th season of the league.

Overview

The league champions, TSV 1860 Munich, were promoted to the 2. Bundesliga after successfully competing in the promotion round. For 1860 Munich it was their second Bayernliga title after 1983–84 and ended a nine-season spell in the league after having been forcibly relegated from the 2. Bundesliga at the end of the 1981–82 season for financial reasons. For the club it marked the third time it competed in the promotion round to the 2. Bundesliga, having been unsuccessful on the previous two occasions in 1983–84 and 1985–86, the latter as the league runners-up when SpVgg Landshut had declined to apply for a 2. Bundesliga licence.

Runners-up SpVgg Unterhaching qualified for the German amateur championship, where it came second in the southern group and was knocked out.

The three bottom clubs were directly relegated from the league while 14th placed SpVgg Bayreuth had to enter the relegation round with the Landesliga runners-up where it secured its league place through victories over VfL Frohnlach and FC Gundelfingen. Of the relegated clubs, 1. FC Amberg returned in 1994 but folded at the end of the 1994–95 season, with a new club, FC Amberg, formed as successor. VfB Helmbrechts returned to the Bayernliga in 1993 while Kickers Würzburg made a return in 1997.''Die Bayernliga'', p. 67 & 140–141

Christian Radlmaier of TSV Eching was the league's top scorer with 20 goals, his first of two Bayernliga top scorer awards.

Of the two clubs relegated to the league Unterhaching had won it in 1988–89 and Bayreuth in 1986–87, both thereby earning promotion to the 2. Bundesliga.
