TSV 1860 Munich II () is the reserve team of German football club TSV 1860 Munich, based in Munich, Bavaria. The side competed as TSV 1860 München Amateure until 2005. It competes in the fifth-tier Bayernliga Süd. Within the club structure it functions as an under-21 squad, bridging the pathway from youth football to the first team.

As a second team it takes part in the German league pyramid in its own right and is eligible for promotion as high as the 3. Liga, subject to reserve-team regulations and the prohibition on playing in the same division as the senior side. The team's remit is player development, providing competitive senior football for academy graduates and over-age returnees, and supplying match practice to first-team squad members recovering from injury.

History

1959 to 1963 1860's amateur team first won promotion to Bavarias highest football league, then the tier-three Amateurliga Südbayern, in 1959, when it took out the title in the 2. Amateurliga Oberbayern and then won the Oberbayern final against FSV Pfaffenhofen.Die Bayernliga 1945-1997 publisher: DSFS, page: 44, accessed: 3 July 2009 The Amateurliga Südbayern was then one of two leagues at this level in Bavaria, covering the southern half of the state while the Amateurliga Nordbayern existed in parallel in the north.

TSV 1860 München Amateure, as the team was then known as, was the third reserve side to reach this level in Bavaria, pre-dated only by 1. FC Nuremberg II and FC Bayern Munich II.

The team finished an excellent second in its first year in the third division, five points behind TSV Schwaben Augsburg.Die Bayernliga 1945-1997 publisher: DSFS, page: 46, accessed: 3 July 2009 The following season, 1960–61, the team won its league, with Bayern Munich's reserve side coming second. 1860's amateur side was however ineligible for promotion as reserve teams could not rise above third division level. The team also declined participation in the Bavarian championship finals against northern champions 1. FC Haßfurt as nine players had left the side already to join other clubs.Die Bayernliga 1945-1997 publisher: DSFS, page: 49, accessed: 3 July 2009

With this loss, the team was uncompetitive the following season, finishing fourteenth in the league and narrowly avoiding relegation.Die Bayernliga 1945-1997 publisher: DSFS, page: 52, accessed: 3 July 2009 With the reorganisation of the German football league system in 1963, it became part of the new tier-four Landesliga Bayern-Süd after finishing fifteenth in the league when a top-seven finish was needed.Die Bayernliga 1945-1997 publisher: DSFS, page: 55, accessed: 3 July 2009

1963 to 1982 In its first season in the Landesliga, 1860 narrowly avoided relegation to the Bezirksliga, finishing twelfth in the league.Landesliga Süd Bayern 1963/64 Das Deutsche Fussball Archiv, accessed: 3 July 2009 It turned fortunes around the following season, coming second behind SpVgg Kaufbeuren, but only the champion of the league was promoted in this era.Landesliga Süd Bayern 1964/65 Das Deutsche Fussball Archiv, accessed: 3 July 2009 Another runners-up finish followed in 1967, this time to FC Bayern Munich II.Landesliga Süd Bayern 1966/67 Das Deutsche Fussball Archiv, accessed: 3 July 2009

The team finished in mid-field in the following years but suffered another relegation in 1971, now to the tier-five Bezirksliga.Landesliga Süd Bayern 1970/71 Das Deutsche Fussball Archiv, accessed: 3 July 2009 The team's decline went in line with the club's first team's relegation from the Bundesliga in 1970.

1860 Amateure returned to the Landesliga in 1973 and earned another runners-up finish in its first year back.Landesliga Süd Bayern 1973/74 Das Deutsche Fussball Archiv, accessed: 3 July 2009 In 1976, the team once more was relegated to the Bezirksliga.Landesliga Süd Bayern 1975/76 Das Deutsche Fussball Archiv, accessed: 3 July 2009

The team once more returned from the Bezirksliga in 1980 and finished as runners-up in the Landesliga in 1981-82. Since 1981, the Landesliga runners-up were entitled to participate in a Bayernliga promotion round, but the 1860 club itself was struck by disaster and its reserve team was withdrawn instead.Landesliga Süd Bayern 1981/82 Das Deutsche Fussball Archiv, accessed: 3 July 2009 What happened was that TSV 1860 had its 2. Bundesliga licence revoked and was forcefully relegated to the tier-three Amateur Oberliga Bayern, the Bayernliga.

1982 to present The team started its road to recovery when it won the tier-six Bezirksliga Oberbayern-Süd in 1990, to earn promotion to the Bezirksoberliga Oberbayern.BZL Oberbayern-Süd table 1989-90 Manfreds Fussball Archiv, accessed: 3 July 2009 The team missed out on another promotion the following year, when it came equal second in the Bezirksoberliga but lost a decider to FC Miesbach.BOL Oberbayern table 1990-91 Manfreds Fussball Archiv, accessed: 3 July 2009 It took until 1995 for the side to return for another attempt at promotion, when a second-place finish meant a return to the Landesliga.BOL Oberbayern table 1994-95 Manfreds Fussball Archiv, accessed: 3 July 2009

Back in the Landesliga, the team won another promotion on first try, winning the league and moving up to the Bayernliga for the first time since 1963.Landesliga Bayern-Süd table 1995-96 Manfreds Fussball Archiv, accessed: 3 July 2009

There, 1860 won its fourth promotion in four years, taking out another league title and moving up to the tier-three Regionalliga Süd.Bayernliga 1996/1997 Weltfussball.de, accessed: 3 July 2009 The team spend the next four seasons in the Regionalliga, earning mid-table results in its first three seasons, but suffering relegation in 2001.

Three years in the Bayernliga followed, in which the team finished runners-up twice before taking out the title once more in 2004.Bayernliga 2003/2004 Weltfussball.de, accessed: 3 July 2009

Back in the Regionalliga, the side became a struggler against relegation. In 2005, the team, like all reserve sides of Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga teams, changed its name permanently from Amateure to Second team, becoming TSV 1860 München II. In case of 1860, the team had already carried that name during the first team's time in the Bayernliga.

With the establishment of the 3. Liga in 2008, the Regionalliga slipped to fourth tier, but also lost most of its top teams to the new league. In 2008–09, the team performed much better, finishing sixth in the league.Regionalliga Süd 2008/2009 Weltfussball.de, accessed: 2 July 2009 The club enjoyed a very successful 2012–13 season, now in the Regionalliga Bayern, where it won the league championship and qualified for the play-offs to the 3. Liga but missed out on promotion when it lost to SV Elversberg 3–4 on aggregate. The following two seasons the team finished third in the Regionalliga.Regionalliga Bayern table 2013–14 kicker.de, accessed: 16 June 2014

Because the first team relegated to 3. Liga and subsequently failed to pay the required license fee in June 2017, they relegated to Regionalliga Bayern and the reserve team, although finishing the 2016–17 season as second, relegated to Bayernliga Süd, the fifth German football tier.
