In an attempt to decrease the number of 76 first class clubs and to increase the level of play, in 1950 the Dutch FA (KNVB) mixed the traditional 6 regional classes into 5 and subsequently 4 first classes, still on amateur basis. In 1954/55 a dissident professional league was founded and started playing. Later that season the KNVB also turned professional and merged with the professional league, eventually resulting in the introduction of a national premier league (Eredivisie) in 1956/57. 1950-1951 1e Klas A 1.

Leagues Tables and Results since 1954/55 (linked by season)
Since the introduction of professional football in 1954 the amateur section of the KNVB organises its own championship. In 1970 the competition for Saturday clubs, set up in 1940 when the CNVB member clubs were forced to join the KNVB, which catered for protestant sects refusing to play on Sunday, were granted a first class (Eerste Klasse). Since then, the champions of the Saturday and Sunday leagues met each other in a playoff for the overall amateur championship. The top level for the Sunday clubs was renamed Hoofdklasse in 1974; that for the Saturday clubs followed suit in 1996. In 2010, both Hoofdklasse competitions were renamed Topklasse (with the Hoofdklasse becoming the second level of amateur competition), in a (failed) attempt to integrate professional and amateur football in the Netherlands, and in 2016 the Topklasse was renamed Derde Divisie (with automatic promotion and relegation to the Tweede Divisie, by then the third and lowest "professional" league), whose champions did not play off for an amateur championship anymore.

[*] in 1984 there was no separate competition between the three regional Sunday champions
for the Sunday title; there was a round robin league between all six (three Saturday
and three Sunday) Hoofdklasse champions for the overall amateur title in which the
Saturday champions first played each other for the Saturday title, while the Sunday
champions met each other at the same time without any title being at stake; all these
matches counted for the overall competition. Elinkwijk were top of the standings among
the Sunday teams after they had played each other but were not awarded any title and
Geldrop, who at that point were second among the Sunday clubs, eventually won the
overall competition (after a playoff against Elinkwijk, as both clubs had finished the
competition with 8 points from 5 matches).
