The 1974–75 UEFA Cup was the fourth season of the UEFA Cup, the third-tier club football competition organised by UEFA.

The final was played over two legs at the Rheinstadion, Düsseldorf, West Germany, and at the Diekman Stadion, Enschede, the Netherlands. It was won by Borussia Mönchengladbach of West Germany, who defeated FC Twente of the Netherlands by an aggregate result of 5–1 to claim their first UEFA Cup title.

No team from West Germany had ever won the UEFA Cup, or its unofficial predecessor Inter-Cities Fairs Cup before Borussia's first conquest, which came two years after reaching the final in 1973. In that edition, both teams had already faced in the semi-finals, which ended with the same aggregate score. For the first time since the 1966 edition of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, no English team reached the final.

Association team allocation

A total of 63 teams from 30 UEFA member associations participate in the 1974–75 UEFA Cup. The original allocation scheme was as follows:

  • 3 associations have four teams qualify.
  • 3 associations have three teams qualify.
  • 18 associations have two teams qualify.
  • 6 associations have one team qualify.

The Netherlands and Austria were the two associations selected to have an extra third birth for this season, while Scotland and Belgium went back to two qualified teams.
