The 1949-50 Fluvannia Hockey League season was the second season of operation of the Fluvannia Hockey League. Eight teams played during a regular season lasting from October to February, consisting of 42 games: six games played against every other team, with each team hosting half the games played. The top four teams then played best-of-five semifinals series to determine the participants in the Union Cup Final. The Omro Raiders and Appleton Bears would both upset their higher-seeded semifinals opponents, with Appleton defeating Omro for their first Union Cup championship.

All eight teams from the FHL's inaugural season would return for the league's second year, though this year would be the final FHL season for EHC Wolfshaven, as they would return to the Piedmont Amateur Hockey Association following two straight years of financial struggles.

This season is notable as the only season to date where no game ended in a draw.
