The league champions SpVgg Fürth qualified for the 1935 German football championship, where it finished second in its group, behind VfB Stuttgart, an ahead of FC Hanau 93 and SV Jena and was thereby knocked out of the competition.[1] [2] For Fürth it was the only Gauliga championships the club would win in the era from 1933 to 1944.[3]

The 1934–35 season saw the introduction of a cup competition, the Tschammerpokal, now the DFB-Pokal. The inaugural 1935 edition was won by Gauliga Bayern runners-up 1. FC Nürnberg, defeating German champion FC Schalke 04 2–0 on 8 December 1935.[4]
