1994–95 Football Conference
The Vauxhall Conference season of 1994–95 was the sixteenth season of the Conference National.
Overview
Macclesfield Town finished the season as Conference champions, but failed to gain Football League status as their stadium failed to meet the capacity requirements. This meant that the bottom placed Third Division club, Exeter City, avoided relegation to the Conference.
New teams in the league this season
- Farnborough Town (promoted 1993–94)
- Stevenage Borough (promoted 1993–94)
