1972–73 County Championship

The 1972–73 County Championship was the 31st season of the Liga IV, the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system. The champions of each county association promoted to Divizia C without promotion play-off. The promotion play-off was not held this season, due to the expansion of Divizia C from next season, from twelve series with 14 teams to twelve series of 16 teams.
