SV Gonsenheim is a German association football club from the district of Gonsenheim in the city of Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate. It was established in 1919 as Fußball-Klub Viktoria Gonsenheim and on 14 September 1919 merged with Fußball-Club Germania 1915 Gonsenheim to form Sportverein Gonsenheim.Grüne, Hardy (2001).

History Following World War II, sports and football clubs across the country were disbanded by occupying Allied authorities as part of the process of denazification. A new club known as Sportgemeinde Gonsenheim was formed out of the former memberships of SV and Turnverein Gonsenheim in 1946. The team was part of the postwar first division Oberliga Südwest-Nord where they played just two seasons as a lower-tier side before choosing to leave the top-flight. In 1949, SV and TV split to become separate clubs again.
In the late 1960s, SV broke through to the third tier Amateurliga Südwest where they played 5 seasons between 1964 and 1971. In 2003, they were promoted to the Verbandsliga Südwest (V) and earned a strong third-place finish in their first season there. However, it would not be until 2010 that SV would advance to the Oberliga Südwest (V), a league renamed to Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar in 2012.
