History

Unterhachings reserve team, for the most part of its history, played in the lower amateur leagues of Bavaria, when the club fielded a reserve side at all. The clubs first team only entered the upper reaches of Bavarian football itself in the late 1970's, earning promotion to the Amateur Oberliga Bayern (III), the Bayernliga, in 1981.

With the rise of the first team, the fortunes of its reserve side improved, too, the side leaving the Munich amateur leagues for the first time in 1990, when it won promotion to the tier-six Bezirksliga Oberbayern-Ost.

The team remained a mid-table side, with the exception of a runners-up finish in 1992, until 1996, when it won the league and earned promotion to the Bezirksoberliga Oberbayern

 in 1999. In this league, the team became a promotion contender in its first season, but in the end finished third, outside the ranks that would have allowed it to move up. In its second year, it managed a second-place finish and earned promotion through the promotion round, entering the Bayernliga for 2001-02.

The first three seasons in the Bayernliga, the team performed quite well, earning upper-table finishes. From 2005, its performances fell off, culminating in a thirteenth place in 2006-07.

, fifth placed, took up one spot but none of the clubs on the places six to eight had applied or been granted a Regionalliga licence and therefore Unterhaching II was admitted to the league for 2008-09.

Not helped by this late addition, the team fared poorly in the 2008-09 season, coming a distant last, twenty points clear of a non-relegation rank, only equal to fellow promoted side and struggler TSV Großbardorf.

In 2010-11, the team plays in the Bayernliga once more. However, independently of the teams final placing in the league in 2011-12, it will be relegated unless the first team qualifies for the 2nd Bundesliga as reserve teams of 3rd Liga sides are not permitted in the Bayernliga anymore from 2012.
