The1921 German football championship, the 14th edition of the competition, was won by1. FC Nürnberg, defeatingBFC Vorwärts 90 5–0 in the final.[1]
For 1. FC Nürnberg it was the second national championship, having won the competition in the previous season as well. Nuremberg thereby became the first team to successfully defend their title. It was part of Nuremberg's most successful era where the club won five titles in eight seasons from 1920 to 1927, missing out on a sixth one in the inconclusive 1922 championship. For Vorwärts Berlin it marked the club's sole German championship final. The club, being unrelated to theEast German clubASK Vorwärts Berlin, later merged with 1905 championsUnion 92 Berlin to formSpVgg Blau-Weiß 1890 Berlin.[2][3]
