The 2010–11 season of the Bayernliga, the highest association football league in Bavaria, was the third season of the league at tier five (V) of the German football league system and the 66th season overall since establishment of the league in 1945. The season started on 25 July 2010 and finished after 34 rounds on 28 May 2011, followed by three more relegation play-off games in early June. Overview As the league champions, FC Ismaning, declined promotion for financial reasons, the runners-up FC Ingolstadt 04 II were directly promoted to the 2011–12 Regionalliga Süd. As Ismaning already announced during the winter break that it intended not apply for a Regionalliga licence, fears were voiced the competition could be affected negatively by this but the team continued its good form and took out the championship regardless. The three worst placed teams, SpVgg Bayreuth, SV Schalding-Heining and Freier TuS Regensburg were relegated to their respective Landesligas. The 15th placed team, SpVgg Bayern Hof, won its relegation match and was able to secure its league spot for another season. Bayern Hof, who was already relegated was able to overturn a 2-point deduction and consequently finished on equal points with SpVgg Bayreuth on place 15 and 16. In the necessary decider, Hof overcame Bayreuth 2–1 in extra time and earned the right to enter the relegation play-off while Bayreuth was directly relegated. While no team was relegated to the league for the 2011–12 season, three teams were directly promoted to the league, SB/DJK Rosenheim, SC Eltersdorf and VfL Frohnlach. Additionally, the TSV Gersthofen was promoted through the play-off round. While Rosenheim makes its first return to the league since 1979, Frohnlach won immediate promotion back to the league after suffering relegation in 2010. Eltersdorf will play in the Bayernliga for the first time in the club's history while Gersthofen has not played in the league since the 1960s. The best supported team during the season was the 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 with 913 spectators per match while the SpVgg Unterhaching II had the worst support with an average of 188. Schweinfurt also set the attendance record for the season, drawing 3,078 spectators in the club's home game against Würzburger FV. TSV 1860 Rosenheim set both the record for the biggest away- and home win, set on consecutive weekends. On 14 May, the club defeated FSV Erlangen-Bruck 7–0 in Rosenheim, followed by a 6–0 win
