Some of the seven regions of the 2nd Amateurliga were in turn sub-divided into regional leagues, resulting in the existence of eleven leagues at this level:
- 2nd Amateurliga Oberbayern A
- 2nd Amateurliga Oberbayern B
- 2nd Amateurliga Niederbayern
- 2nd Amateurliga Schwaben
- 2nd Amateurliga Oberpfalz
- 2nd Amateurliga Mittelfranken Nord
- 2nd Amateurliga Mittelfranken Süd
- 2nd Amateurliga Unterfranken West
- 2nd Amateurliga Unterfranken Ost
- 2nd Amateurliga Oberfranken West
- 2nd Amateurliga Oberfranken Ost
Within the four Regierungsbezirke who had two leagues, a championship was played to determine the local champions, but no overall 2nd Amateurliga championship was held. Instead, the regional champions would play promotion rounds to determine the teams that would move up to the Amateurliga. The promotion rounds where sub-divided into northern and southern Bavaria. The champions of the three Franconian Regierungsbezirke would play in the northern group while the other four Regierungsbezirke would play in the southern one. Swabia had a special status within this system, being allowed to send both champions and runners-up to the promotion round. Originally, until 1957, the promotion rounds were held in two groups of six teams, playing a home-and-away round, with the top-two teams from each being promoted.
In 1953, the Amateurliga Bayern was split in itself in two regional divisions, north and south, resulting in two new leagues:
- Amateurliga Nordbayern - Northern Bavaria
- Amateurliga Südbayern - Southern Bavaria
This decision was made rather late, on 7 July 1953, after the promotion rounds had already been played, resulting in all twelve teams that had taken part being promoted.
The promotion system remained unchanged after this, two groups of six with the first two in each group still promoted. In 1955, three teams were promoted from the north because VfB Helmbrechts

had been promoted to the 2nd Oberliga Süd, thereby providing an additional spot in the Amateurliga Nordbayern. An expansion of the Amateurliga Südbayern from 14 to 16 clubs in 1957 allowed four teams to be promoted from the south.
From 1957-58 onwards, the promotion system was changed. In the north, the three Regierungsbezirk champions were now directly promoted. In the south, the Oberbayern and Schwaben champions were directly promoted while the champions of Niederbayern and Oberpfalz played a decider for one more promotion spot.
In 1958, an additional spot was available because the 1. FC Bamberg

moved up to the second division. In 1960, when Schwaben Augsburg was promoted to the 2nd Oberliga, the losing team of the Niederbayern versus Oberpfalz encounter was also promoted.
Disbanding of the 2nd Amateurligas
In 1963, the German league system was changed drastically. The Fußball-Bundesliga replaced the previously existing five Oberligas as the highest league in the country. Below it, five Regionalligas were created as the new second divisions.On 27 April 1963, it was decided to reorganise the Bavarian league system, too. The two Amateurligas in Bavaria were reduced to a single division again, like until 1953. The 2nd Amateurligas were completely disbanded and replaced by three Landesligas as the new fourth tier, those being:
