Overview
The 2014–15 Frauen-Bundesliga was the 25th edition of the top tier of women's club football in Germany. The season ran from 30 August 2014 to 10 May 2015. Twelve teams competed in the national league, and at the end of the campaign Bayern Munich secured the club's first Frauen-Bundesliga championship.

The league uses a double round-robin format: each club plays every other club twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 22 matches per team. Standard point scoring applies (three points for a win, one for a draw). At season end the lowest-placed clubs face relegation to the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga, while the top clubs qualify for European competitions based on the rules in place that year.
