National Division 2 is the fourth tier of rugby league in France, after Elite 1, Elite 2 and National Division 1. This tier was formerly known as the Federal Championship. Clubs play in regional leagues with the leading clubs coming together after the regular season for a series of play-off games to determine the national champions.

Season 2008/09

For the 2008/09 season the division is structured into six regional leagues comprising seven groups in total (Languedoc-Roussillon has two pools). The end of season play-offs commence on 12 April 2009 and the Final is scheduled for 7 June.

Clubs in this division also play in French rugby league's Coupe Falcou, a knock-out cup for National Division 1 and National Division 2 clubs.
