Map of the five German Regionalligas from 1963 to 1974

The 1964–65 Regionalliga was the second Regionalliga season. The league operated in five regional divisions, Berlin, North, South, Southwest and West. The five league champions and the runners-up from the west, south, southwest and north then entered a promotion play-off to determine the two clubs to move up to the Bundesliga for the next season. Western and southern champions Borussia Mönchengladbach and FC Bayern Munich were promoted. Additionally, the third placed team in Berlin, SC Tasmania 1900 Berlin, was also promoted to replace Hertha BSC, which had their Bundesliga licence revoked.

North

The 1964–65 season saw two new clubs in the league, SC Göttingen 05 and Rasensport Harburg, both promoted from the Amateurliga while no club had been relegated from the Bundesliga to the league.

The 1964–65 season saw one new club in the league, Viktoria 89 Berlin, promoted from the Amateurliga Berlin, while no club had been relegated from the Bundesliga to the league. After a home-and-away round of 18 games each the league was split into a championship and a relegation round with five clubs each. Because Tennis Borussia Berlin failed in the promotion round and Spandauer SV declined SC Tasmania 1900 Berlin was directly promoted to the Bundesliga to replace Hertha BSC which had its licence revoked.[2]
