There are three tables presented here. The first covers the period 1897/98-2008/09. The second covers the period when The Netherlands have had just one first level, 1956/57-2008/09. The third and final table covers the championship playoff tables for the period 1897/98-1955/56. The first two have three points for a win and the third has two points for a win as three points for a win was not installed until the 1990:s. The tables have been assembled using material mainly contributed by Timo Bootsma, Martijn Mooij & Allard Doesburg. Additional information submitted by the foot.dk website & Fer van Dijk. Useful comments also by Thomas Giesecke. A huge thank you to all who have contributed. * = Indicates that points have been deducted; see the notes after the tables.
