Overview
The league was formed in 1978 to replace the three regional amateur leagues that existed in its place until then as the third tier in Rhineland-Platinate and Saarland. Originally it carried the name Amateur-Oberliga Südwest. In 1994, when the Regionalliga Süd was formed, the league changed its official name once more to Oberliga Südwest, and became a tier four league. In 2012, the Regionalliga Süd was replaced by the Regionalliga Südwest and the league was renamed Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar to avoid confusion, but little else changed for the Oberliga otherwise.
