19th season of the second-tier football league in Netherlands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dutch Eerste Divisie in the 1974–75 season was contested by 19 teams, one team less than in the previous year. This was due to the absorption of Volewijckers by eredivisie-club FC Amsterdam. NEC Nijmegen won the championship.
