The club played in the tier five Bezirksliga Oberpfalz from 1964 to 1971, generally achieving good results and eventually earning promotion in 1971 after a runners-up finish.

ASV played three seasons in the tier four Landesliga Bayern-Mitte from 1971 to 1974, finishing ninth in its first year there but than declining and being relegated again after an eighteenth place in 1973–74. The club spent three seasons in the Bezirksliga before making a return to the Landesliga in 1977. It entered its most successful era in both league and cup competitions, spending the next eight seasons in this league. The club finished in fourth place in its first two Landesliga seasons before dropping to the lower end of the table for the next two. Avoiding relegation, ASV Burglengenfeld played another three good seasons in the league, culminating in a third place in 1982–83. After a fifth place in 1984 the club was relegated in 1985 after coming fifteenth, never to make return to the league until it was disbanded in 2012.

The club's third appearance in the cup came in 1983–84, when it defeated KSV Baunatal 2–1 in the first round but than lost 3–0 in the second to SV Werder Bremen.

After an era where the club played in the Bezirksliga or the leagues below,. ASV won promotion to the tier six Bezirksoberliga Oberpfalz in 2003. It was relegated again after only one season but returned to the league in 2007 to play at this level until the league was disbanded in 2012.
