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.
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 1964–71. 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.
SV Gonsenheims största framgång var att nå den första omgången av DFB-Pokal, den tyska cupen, under säsongen 2013–14. Klubben har vunnit den regionala cupen i Hessen (Hessenpokal) fem gånger, senast 2013.
SV Gonsenheim är känt för sin starka ungdomsverksamhet och har producerat ett antal spelare som har gått vidare till att spela på professionell nivå, inklusive Lars Bender, Sven Bender och Christoph Metzelder.
