1. FC Neukölln is a German association football club from the city of Berlin. The club's men's teams greatest success has been the four seasons spend in the tier one Oberliga Berlin-Brandenburg in the late 1920s as well as promotion to the tier two Regionalliga Berlin, where it played from 1965 to 1974.
The club's women's team, now defunct, was a founding member of the Women's Bundesliga, where it played for one season in 1990–91.
Formed in 1895 the club first played at the highest level of football in Berlin from 1926 to 1930 in what was then the Oberliga Berlin-Brandenburg.
In post-Second World War football the club played as SG Rixdorf in one of the four regional divisions of what was to become the tier one Oberliga Berlin. It dropped to the second level in 1946 and to the third in 1949, each time because of reductions in league strength, but also adopted its old name, 1. FC Neukölln again in 1949.
1. FC Neukölln was promoted to the tier two Amateurliga Berlin in 1953, where it played for four seasons before being relegated again in 1958. It made a return to the Amateurliga in 1963, to a league that had now slipped to third tier because of the introduction of the Bundesliga.
The team won the Amateurliga Berlin in 1967 and earned promotion to the Regionalliga Berlin, the second tier of the league system below the Bundesliga in West Berlin. Neukölln played the next seven seasons in the league, generally achieving lower table finishes. The club's best result came in 1968–69 when it finished sixth but a seventh place in 1973–74, after which the league was disbanded, meant the team did not qualify for the new 2. Bundesliga.
