'''1. deild''' is the second tier league of [[football in the Faroe Islands]]. It was founded in 1943. The league is organised by the [[Faroe Islands Football Association]]. It was originally the top level of Faroe Islands football but was replaced by the [[Faroe Islands Premier League]] in 2005.

The league has 10 participating clubs. At the end of each season, two teams are relegated and two promoted from the [[2. deild]], pending the fact that the promoted team does not already have a team in 1. deild. In such cases, the team that finished third will be promoted instead. If a team is relegated to 1. deild and already have a side playing there, their [[reserve team]] will move one division down, thereby saving another team from relegation.

==History==
Founded in 1943 as ''Meðaldeildin'', it acts in a system of [[promotion and relegation]] with the top division since 1976,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesf/far2champ.html|author=Dinant Abbink|title=Faroe Islands - List of Second Level Champions|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=10 March 2019}}</ref> when the [[Faroe Islands football league system]] was reorganized. Back then, 1. deild was the name given to the top division, replacing the ''Meistaradeildin''. The first club to be promoted was [[FC Hoyvík|Fram Tórshavn]] after winning the division for the first time in their history. The first team relegated to the league was [[NSÍ Runavík]].
