The 1st tier South African football teams in the 1998/1999 season could participate in one domestic league competition : the Premier Soccer League / South African Premiership. The season listing shows the top-flight league as the first division for that year, with no separate domestic cup or second league counted as part of the 1st tier league competition itself.

What that means

  • League competition: 1.
  • Other domestic competitions: South African top-flight clubs may also have entered cup competitions, but those are separate from the league and are not counted as the 1st tier league competition.
  • If you meant total domestic tournaments: that number would depend on which cups were open to top-tier clubs that season, not just the league standings.

Quick scoop

For a plain reading of your question, the answer is 1 domestic competition in the top-tier league context.
