1964–65 Intertoto Cup

The 1964–65 Intertoto Cup was won by Polonia Bytom, losing finalists the previous season, who defeated Lokomotive Leipzig in the final - believed to be the first held over two legs in the tournament's history. A total of 44 clubs participated, down four on the previous season, and clubs from Bulgaria and Greece took part for the first time. The competition was also affected by the decision of UEFA to prevent clubs who were taking part in the European Cup or UEFA Cup Winners' Cup continuing games in other European competitions after the end of the summer break. These clubs had to be given byes through the knock-out rounds until they were eliminated from the UEFA competitions, or withdrawn entirely.

Group stage

The teams were divided into eleven groups of four clubs each, it proving impossible to secure enough club to fill twelve groups. The groups were divided geographically - 'A' for Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and West Germany; 'B' for Austria, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Poland, Yugoslavia and one club from Sweden; while 'C' (which had only 3 groups) was for France, Greece and Sweden, as well as one club each from Czechoslovakia, Poland and West Germany, and two from Yugoslavia, to make up the numbers. The eleven group winners (shown in bold in the tables below) advanced to the knock-out rounds.

First round

• Byes were given to DWS and Malmö FF and because they were participating in the European Cup, and were not allowed to continue in the Intertoto Cup after the summer break.
• The remaining clubs were drawn into three ties and three byes - the clubs which received byes were Hertha Berlin, Lokomotive Leipzig and Polonia Bytom. This replaced the system used the previous year, of allowing the best losing teams to qualify.

Team 1	Agg.	Team 2	1st leg	2nd leg
Hertha Berlin	Bye	–	–	–
Kaiserslautern	2–4	Slovnaft Bratislava	1–1	1–3

Empor Rostock	1–2	Karl-Marx-Stadt	0–1	1–1

Quarter-finals

• Malmö FF had by this point been eliminated from the European Cup, and so re-entered the tournament; but DWS were still playing, so they were withdrawn.
• As a result, the remaining clubs were drawn into three ties and one bye - the club which received the bye was Liège.

Hertha Berlin	5–2	Slovnaft Bratislava	5–0	0–2
