| 1951-52 | Main, Endranking: 4 | Ajax played in a division with mostly northern teams. It was soon clear Ajax would win the competition and the 9 point lead would have been larger if Ajax would not have lost its last 4 matches after the division championship was secured. This easy division championship was followed by a very poor performance in the champions competition. Ajax lost 5 matches in a row and was only in the last match able to have a draw and score the only point. Ofcourse the opposition in the champions competition was stronger, but Ajax was also forced by injuries and a suspension to deviate from the lineup that brought the division championship, which was not beneficial for the result. |
| 1950-51 | ||
| 1949-50 | Main, Endranking: 4 | Ajax quite easily won the First Division West II competition and the relatively small difference with the number 2 De Volewijckers is partly explained by the fact that Ajax last the home game against De Volewijckers after it had already won the competition. We are not implying that Ajax was unbeatable and would have won easily otherwise, because eventhough Ajax only dropped 5 points in the division competition, Ajax didn't stand a chance in the champions competition. With 4 wins and 6 losses, Ajax ended in the 4th spot, a long distance from the new domestic champion SV Limburgia. |
| 1948-49 | ||
| 1947-48 | ||
| 1946-47 | Main, Endranking: 1 | Ajax started well in the First Division West I competition and had a good season. Feyenoord was able to get 3 points from the matches with Ajax, but because Ajax dropped only few points the division championship was achieved with a margin. Feyenoord ended second 5 points behin Ajax. In the champions competition Ajax started with getting 3 points from the two matches against SC Heerenveen. Heerenveen also turned out to be the only competitor, and only dropped few points. Ajax lost only once and quite easily became domestic champion with 3 points ahead of SC Heerenveen. |
| 1945-46 | Main, Endranking: 2 | In the First Division West I competition De Volewijckers and Ajax with a large gap with the rest battled together for the division championship. The matches between them ended in two draws and in the other matches Ajax did a bit better than De Volewijckers. Partly because Ajax lost a match after the championship was already won, the difference with De Volewijckers was only 1 point. In the champions competition Ajax lost the first three away matches and even though the rest of the matches were won, this was not enough to become the new domestic champion. HFC Haarlem became the new champion, 1 point ahead of Ajax. |

| 1941-42 | ||
| 1940-41 | ||
| 1939-40 | ||
| 1938-39 | Main, Endranking: 1 | Ajax made a weak start in the First Division West II competition and after 10 matches Ajax had already lost three times and played two draws. Still league leader Feyenoord was still within reach and after Ajax beat Feyenoord in Amsterdam in round 12 with 5-0 the gap was only two points. Ajax continued to win, only played one more draw, but that was in the last round when the division championship was already won. In the champions competition there was no team sticking out and even though Ajax lost once and played two draws, they became the new domestic champion relatively easy. |
| 1937-38 | ||
| 1936-37 | Main, Endranking: 1 | Ajax started very convincingly at the First Division West I competition. In the 10th match Ajax beat the closest competitor DHC with 9-2, making Ajax, who had played only one draw, take a lead of 7 points. Afterwards Ajax dropped more points, but still became division champion with 30 points, 9 ahead of Xerxes and Blauw-Wit. In the champions competition Ajax lost only one match (in Rotterdam against Feyenoord), winning the rest, which made them the new domestic champion, 4 points ahead of Feyenoord and PSV. |
| 1935-36 | Main, Endranking: 2 | Ajax starts weak in the First Division West I competition and loses already 3 times in the first 6 matches. Ajax remains to have poor results and after 12 matches Ajax is ranked 6th with 13 point. Because the leading teams also keep dropping points the gap with the leader (Sparta, 17 points) is still manageable, although Ajax was no longer considered as a candidate for the division championship. However Ajax kept winning and because the other teams kept dropping points Ajax was able to take the number one spot with one game to go. A draw in the last round against the number two HBS would have been sufficient, but Ajax was also able to won that game. In the champions competition Ajax started weak again by losing twice, at home against Feyenoord and away against SC Enschede. Ajax recovered but when losing 5-4 to Be Quick too many points were dropped. Ajax was able to beat Feyenoord in Rotterdam, but still ended one point begin Feyenoord in second place. |
| 1934-35 | Main, Endranking: 3 | Ajax started very week in the First Division West I competition by already losing twice and having one draw in the first 5 matches. Ajax recovered, but in the 8th round there was already a crucial match. Feyenoord, who hadn't lost yet, came to visit and if they would be able to beat Ajax, they would be out of reach. Ajax however won with a large margin and kept on winning (only played one more draw in the remainder of the competition) and when one round from the last Ajax was able to beat Feyenoord in Rotterdam as well, they finally went in the lead and one round later became the division champion. In the champions competition Ajax did not perform well anymore. The lengthy previous season and the lack of a summer break became a problem, Ajax was not only faced with various injured played, but the team just didn't perform well anymore. Ajax lost twice from both the number 1 (PSV) and 2 (Go AHead), while it was still able to beat the numbers 4 (Velocitas 1897) and 5 (DWS) twice. |
| 1933-34 | Main, Endranking: 1 | Ajax won the First Division West I competition by a large margin. In the second round Ajax lost, but afterwards Ajax had a long winning streak that only finished in the last round, when Ajax lost its second game, but by then the division championship was won already. Ajax finished with 10 points ahead of VSV and 11 ahead of Feyenoord, who played in the same league as Ajax, for a chance. The subsequent champions competition had never been more close: Ajax, KFC and Willem II together end up on first place. Ajax had a better goal difference, but the regulations indicated this would not be decisive for the championship, so decisive matches were necessary. In the first two matches Ajax and KFC were both able to beat Willem II and in the last match KFC was leading with 2-0 by half time. Ajax scored the 2-1 early in the second half, but took until the last minutes to make the equalizer. Because Ajax had won with a larger margin from Willem II than KFC had, and because goal difference was decisive for the decision matches, Ajax was the new domestic champion. |
| 1932-33 | ||
| 1931-32 | Main, Endranking: 1 | In the First Division West I it was clear from the start that Ajax would become division champion again. Ajax only dropped significant points just before and after the competition was won. Afterwards Ajax started strongly with the champions competition and after Ajax had beaten Feyenoord in Rotterdam a home win against Feyenoord would be sufficient to become domestic champion again. However Feyenoord was able to beat Ajax in Amsterdam and because Feyenoord had also hardly dropped points Ajax was only one point ahead with both still two games to go. Both won the remaining two games, causing Ajax to just stay ahead of Feyenoord and remaining the domestic champion. |
| 1930-31 | Main, Endranking: 1 | Ajax started strongly in the First Division West I and in the first half of the season only ZFC was able to take away 2 points from the confrontation with Ajax, while Ajax only played two draws. In the second half of the season Ajax won its first couple of matches and with (including the game against ZFC) still 6 matches to go the second confrontation with ZFC, who also hardly dropped points, was scheduled, that ended in a draw. It appeared it would be an exciting final parts of the competition, possibly ending with a decisive match, but DFC started to drop points whil Ajax kept winning and Ajax finished 5 points ahead becoming the division champion with a larger margin anyone had expected. The champions competition featured for the first time all three teams from the current traditional top three of the Netherlands (Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord). Ajax didn't start very impressive. PSV was beaten in Amsterdam, but Feyenoord was much too strong in Rotterdam and Ajax managed to take ”only“ 3 points away from the double confrontation against the weaker side Velocitas 1897. When Ajax subsequently beat Go Ahead twice, while PSV and Feyenoord shared the points, Ajax was back in the race. Ajax was unable to beat Feyenoord in Amsterdam (this became a draw), but was able to beat PSV in Eindhoven. Ajax was finished, PSV was eliminated and Feyenoord had one loss point less than Ajax, but still three games to play. Since those remaining games were against the weaker sides Go Ahead and Velociyas 1897, it was assumed Feyenoord would have a good chance to become the champion, but they only were able to gather one out of the possible 6 points, which meant Ajax was the new domestic champion with a relatively large margin. |
| 1929-30 | Main, Endranking: 2 | Ajax was in the running for the division championship of the First Division West I throughout the season, but didn't stand out. Impressive wins like the 5-1 against competitor RCH and the 9-0 against Haarlem were followed by dropping points against the lesser opponents. Still this performance was well enough to secure the top spot one round before the end, finishing in the end ranking 3 points ahead of RCH and ADO. The lack of stability in the performance caused Ajax to finish only second in a very exciting champions competition. Ajax was able to beat the new domestic champion Go Ahead twice, but did not perform well against Blauw-Wit (only 1 point) and Willem II and Velocitas, which Ajax beat with a very large margin at home, but lost from in the away games. |
| 1928-29 | ||
| 1927-28 | Main, Endranking: 2 | Ajax only dropped points twice in the First Division West I causing the division championship to be a sure thing almost from the start. In the champions competition Ajax was beaten twice by Feyenoord, causing Feyenoord to be the new domestic champion. |
| 1926-27 | Main, Endranking: 3 | In the First Division West I Ajax started strong and from the start Ajax was the favorite for the division championship. Although not all games were very impressive the division championship, partly due to two wins from the number two Stormvogels, always stayed within reach. In the champions competition Ajax finished third after new domestic champion Heracles and NAC, just ahead of Feyenoord. |

| 1923-24 | ||
| 1922-23 | ||
| 1921-22 | ||
| 1920-21 | Main, Endranking: 3 | In the First Division West Ajax and Blauw-Wit longtime lead the competition together, almost won all games and about halfway the competition dropped points at the same time, until the last 5 rounds in which Blauw-Wit lost so many points that the final match, Ajax - Blauw-Wit, was no longer relevant for the final standings. Ajax became division champion and Blauw-Wit finished second on six points behind. Ajax started well in the champions competition by beating Go Ahead in the away game with 0-5, but when subsequently the games against NAC (at home) and Be Quick (away) were lost, Ajax knew it would be difficult. Ajax beat Go Ahead at home, but when NAC (away) beat Ajax the championship was out of reach. Ajax did play an important role by beating the leaders Be Quick in the last round so that NAC became the champion. |
| 1919-20 | ||
| 1918-19 | Main, Endranking: 1 | Ajax starts the competition very well, for the first time drops a point in the 9th competition match and at the end of 1918 has won 11 and drawn 2 and the competition is far behind. In the remainder of the competition only one draw will follow, the rest of the matches are won, so that Ajax wins the division championship again. Blauw-Wit becomes second 11 points behind Ajax. In the champions competition Ajax stays unbeaten for the first 7 matches, but because of 3 draws Go Ahead is able to stay near Ajax and the championship is not sure yet. Because the last match of Ajax is moved from a Thursday (Hemelvaartsdag) to the next Sunday and Go Ahead looses their last game, Ajax becomes champion without playing. Ajax wins the last game, so stays unbeaten throughout the domestic competition. |
| 1917-18 | Main, Endranking: 1 | Now that the matches have more meaning things are not as fantastic anymore as they were in the previous season for Ajax, but still Ajax knows to make a good impression in the competition from the start and fights for top ranking. When Sparta looses some matches halfway the competition the championship seems to be be fought out between Blauw-Wit, HFC Haarlem and Ajax. Especially in the matches between these clubs Ajax does well (two wins against HFC Haarlem and one win against Blauw-Wit) and when the last match against Blauw-Wit is played Ajax has a great position: with (for Ajax) only 5 matches to go, of which 4 at home, Ajax has 4 losspoints less than Blauw-Wit and HFC Haarlem. Ajax does not falter and plays only one draw and wins the other 4 remaining matches and becomes the division champion of the 1ste division for the first time and participates in the champions competition. Ajax starts the championscompetition very strong by winning the first 4 games, but when everone thinks Ajax is already champion Ajax only gets one point from the double confrontation with Go Ahead. Afterwards Ajax wins twice which is enough to become the Dutch champion for the first time. |
