The 1979-80 season was Liverpool's 88th season of football since they were established. Liverpool held onto their league title this season, but failed to achieve success in cup competitions - reaching the semi-finals in both the FA Cup and League Cup. Their European Cup campaign was less successful, as they went out in the first round for the second time in as many years.
