Bayern Munich II (formerly "Bayern Munich Amateure") are the second team of German football club "Bayern Munich". They have played in the Regionalliga Süd (III) since 1994 when the league was formed and have generally earned mid-table results. The team won the Regionalliga title in 2004, but like the reserve teams of other clubs represented in the first and second divisions of German football competition, is not permitted promotion above this level. In 2008 it achieved promotion to the newly found 3rd Liga.
