The 1994–95 Liga Indonesia First Division (known as Divisi Satu Liga Dunhill for sponsorship reasons) was the inaugural season of the Liga Indonesia First Division, the second-tier division of Indonesian football operating below the Liga Indonesia Premier Division. The season began in November 1994 and ended on 13 July 1995. The league was made up of 16 clubs. Persikab won the title after defeating Persma 2–1 in the final. Teams The inaugural edition of the Liga Indonesia First Division was motivated by the PSSI's decision to merge the Perserikatan and Galatama into a new competition system, Liga Indonesia. All clubs from both top-tier leagues were merged into the Liga Indonesia Premier Division, forming the new national first tier. Since Galatama did not have any level lower than their top division in their final season, the clubs for the lower tiers of Liga Indonesia were drawn from clubs at the same level in the Perserikatan. The teams are almost identical to the 1993 Perserikatan First Division apart from champions Persipura and runners-up Persiku who are being promoted to the new Premier Division while Perserikatan Second Division champions Persis and runners-up Persikab move up to the new First Division.
