Western Football League

Season	1974–75
Champions	Falmouth Town
← 1973–74 1975–76 →

The champions for the first time in their history were newcomers Falmouth Town. Falmouth were the first Cornish club to play in the Western League, and they won the league at their first attempt, remaining unbeaten throughout the season.
