}}The 2. Frauen-Bundesliga is the second league competition for women's association football in Germany. It is played as one group. For the 14 seasons it was divided into two groups: north and south. The winner and the runner-up, if not reserve teams of Bundesliga sides, are promoted to the Bundesliga; the last three places are relegated to the Regionalliga. Until the 2017–18 season, in each group, the winner was promoted and the bottom two were relegated. The 2nd Bundesliga will be played as one group of 14 teams starting in the 2018–19 season, with second teams of clubs being allowed to have only three players older than 20 years.[1][2] Champions | Season | Group North | Group South | | 2004–05 | FFC Brauweiler Pulheim | VfL Sindelfingen |
