On 1 July 2009, the 26 districts of Latvia (, rajons) and 7 republic cities (, republikas pilsēta), introduced in 1949 by the Soviet occupation authorities to supersede counties (apriņķi, apriņķis, e.g. Rīgas apriņķis) of the Republic of Latvia, were divided into 77 cities (, pilsēta), 10 amalgamated municipalities (, novads), 24 rural territories (, lauku teritorija) and 475 parishes (, pagasts).

The previous administrative reform had been enacted in 1990 upon the restoration of the independence of Latvia, when parishes, which had been abolished from 1945 to 1949 during the Soviet occupation in favour of village councils (, ciema padome), were restored. The first-level administrative units of Latvia during its interwar independence – counties (, apriņķis, e.g. Riga county) were not reintroduced, although they were initially planned to be introduced in the 2009 reform.

The new divisions were in force from 2009 to 2021, when they were superseded by the 2021 reform (see Administrative divisions of Latvia).
