The opening as it read in October 6, 2023

1954–55 Liga Alef season was the last in which it was the Israel 's top football league, as the following season it was replaced by Liga Leumit and became the country's second tier. It consisted of 14 clubs, the 12 from the top division in the previous season and two promoted clubs ( Hapoel Hadera and Beitar Jerusalem ). It used two points for a win and one for a draw. The title was won by Hapoel Petah Tikva , the club's first championship, whilst Hapoel Hadera and Hapoel Balfouria (who had finished bottom the previous season) were relegated automatically. Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Kfar Saba took part in the promotion/relegation play-offs with the top two clubs from Liga Bet , in which Kfar Saba retained their place in the top division, but Beitar were relegated.
