2010-11 season
The 2010-11 season sees the league feature thirteen clubs from North Rhine-Westphalia, of which eight are from Westphalia. Of the other five, two are from the Saarland while the remaining three are from Rhineland-Palatinate. Unlike the previous two seasons, no club from outside those three states competes in the league this year.It also features a record ten reserve teams, leaving only eight first teams in the league.
The league was won by Preußen Münster, who finished with a ten-point gap to second-placed Eintracht Trier.
Future
In October 2010, yet another reform of the Regionalligas was decided upon. The number of leagues were now to be expanded to five, with the Regionalliga West to lose the clubs from the Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate. The new system is due to come into operation in the 2012-13 season. It was also decided to limit the number of reserve teams per Regionalliga to seven. The later however is planned to be achieved through the shifting of clubs between leagues rather than restricting the overall number of reserve teams.Foundation clubs of the Regionalliga West
