The top club in each National Two league (National Two North, East and West) will be promoted to National One with the bottom two clubs in each league relegated.

So for our league (National 2 North) only the top team gets promoted (no play-offs) and the bottom two clubs are relegated.

The RFU have confirmed the teams in the new 2022-2023 league structure.
