2. Bundesliga Nord (1974–1981)

The 2. Bundesliga Nord (Second Bundesliga North) was one of two regional divisions of the 2. Bundesliga, the second-highest level of the German football league system, from 1974 to 1981. The other division was the 2. Bundesliga Süd (South). It covered the northern portion of West Germany.

The league was created as part of a restructuring of German football below the Bundesliga. The winner and usually the runner-up of the 2. Bundesliga Nord were promoted to the Bundesliga. The bottom teams were relegated to the Oberliga Nord (North), Oberliga Westfalen (Westphalia), or Oberliga Berlin, depending on the geographic location of the club.

In 1981, the two regional 2. Bundesliga divisions were merged into a single, nationwide 2. Bundesliga. The teams that did not qualify for the single-division league based on their performances over the preceding seasons were relegated to the Oberliga.
