The 2009 South Australian Super League (also known as the Devine Homes Super League for sponsorship reasons) was the fourth edition of the South Australian Super League, the top level domestic association football competition in South Australia, and was the second season to use the McIntyre Final Five finals system introduced the previous year. Ten teams competed, with the two worst finishing being relegated to the 2010 Premier League. The league was won by the North Eastern MetroStars after they beat Adelaide City 1–0 in the Grand Final, becoming just the second team (apart from Adelaide City) to finish top of the league or win the Grand Final.^[1]
