- National League 2 North
-
National League 2 North, (which before September 2009 was known as National Division Three North ) is the 4th tier of the English rugby union system and provides mostly amateur competition for teams in the Northern half of England.
From 2009-10 the RFU have restructured the league system in England, meaning that this league now contains 16 teams rather than the previous 14. The teams are from the English Midlands and Northern England. Each team will play 30 league games on a home and away basis. Promotion and relegation will continue to form the make-up of the league National League 1; the runner-up plays in a one-off play-off with the runner-up of National League 2 South for promotion. Relegation is to either the National Division 3 (Midlands) or National Division 3 (North) leagues depending on where the team are based.
