The Faroese Football Championship 1979 was held in the 1st Deild called first Faroese league and was the 37th season overall. It started on April 22, 1979 and ended on September 23, 1979.

Promoted NSÍ Runavík returned after two years in the top division. Champion became ÍF Fuglafjørður , who could win the title for the first time. ÍF remained undefeated for the entire season. After the introduction of the 1st Deild, only HB Tórshavn in 1978 and B71 Sandur in 1989 were able to do this . Defending champion HB Tórshavn finished in third place. However, NSÍ Runavík had to relegate after a year of first class.

Compared to the previous season, the goal rate improved to 3.71 per game, which was the highest average since 1976 . TB Tvøroyri scored the highest win with an 8-1 home game against KÍ Klaksvík on matchday ten, which was also the highest-scoring game.
