BT Premiership Division Two

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BT Scotland Premiership Division Two, is Scotland's second national rugby union league.

Up to season 1972-73, Scotland's rugby union clubs participated in what was known as an 'unofficial championship'. It provided very unbalanced competition: some clubs played more fixtures than others and some fixture lists provided stiffer opposition than others. The resulting league table at the end of each season gave a very unbalanced and difficult-to-comprehend set of results.

Starting in season 1973-74, the Scottish Rugby Union organised the full member clubs into six leagues, allowing for fairer competition.

The league's title sponsor is the BT Group plc.
