The league is divided in two divisions: North-West and South-East. It sits at Level 3 on the Victorian league system (Level 4 of the overall Australian league system). The competition is administered by Football Federation Victoria, the governing body of the sport in the state.

History

The league was founded in 1932 as Division 2 it has had many name changes such as Metropolitan League 1, and Victorian League Division 1. It was only known as State League Division 1 since 1991. Prior to the 2014 season, the league was the second highest in the Victoria. In the 2012 season, Pascoe Vale and Port Melbourne Sharks were promoted to the Victorian Premier League, while Whittlesea Ranges, Dandenong City and Springvale White Eagles were relegated. In the 2013 season, Heidelberg United was promoted back to the Victorian Premier League after being relegated to Victorian State League Division 1 in 2012.

Format

The champions and runners-up of State League Division 1 are promoted to the National Premier Leagues Victoria 1 for the 2015 season only. The champions of the Victorian State League Division 2 South-East and North-West, the third tier in Victoria and the fourth nationally, are promoted to Victorian State League Division 1 the next season, whilst the two teams finishing on the bottom of the ladder are relegated to Division 2 in their respective zones. The two teams finishing second in Division 2 South-East and North-West enter a playoff at the end of the season, the winner of which goes on to face the tenth placed team in Division 1. The winner of this playoff plays in Division 1 next season, whilst the loser is either relegated to or remains in (depending on which league they were in for the previous season) Division 2.
