Rotherham Titans finished the season as champions on 27 April 2024 following an away win against Billingham.[1] The title battle went right to the last day of the season, with Titans finishing just two points clear of Yorkshire rivals Leeds Tykes who had looked certain champions up until very last few games, with Rotherham's home win over Tykes on 23 March 2024 ultimately being the catalyst for who would take the league. In winning the league Rotherham would be promoted back into the 2024–25 National League 1 after an absence of four seasons.
Huddersfield were the first side to be relegated, losing away to Billingham on 23 March 2024 to go down with three games left to play.[2] The battle for the second relegation spot would go all the way until the end of the season, with Billingham's bonus point loss against champions Rotherham, being just enough to see them pip Hull Ionians by virtue of a better better points for against record, with both sides equal on 44 points apiece. Despite finishing 13th, Ionians resounding 94-26 victory against already relegated Huddersfield, was enough to see them stay up as the best ranked National League 2 side, as they had a better for and against record than the 2023–24 National League 2 East side Wimbledon who also finished on 44 points and had an equal number of wins (6). In the end the only relegated club from National League 2 North, Huddersfield would drop down to Regional 1 North East after spending six seasons at level 4.
The league consists of fourteen teams and each play the others on a home and away basis, to make a total of 26 matches each. The champions are promoted to National League 1 and typically the last two teams are relegated to Regional 1 North East or Regional 1 North West; depending on their location.
Due to the liquidation of RFU Championship side Jersey Reds in September 2023 and the knock on effect on the league system, the best placed 13th placed side in the three National 2 leagues (National League 2 North, National League 2 East, National 2 West) will be saved from relegation.[3] See Relegation (13th placed teams).
The results of the matches contribute points to the league as follows:
- 4 points are awarded for a win
- 2 points are awarded for a draw
- 0 points are awarded for a loss, however
- 1 losing (bonus) point is awarded to a team that loses a match by 7 points or fewer
- 1 additional (bonus) point is awarded to a team scoring 4 tries or more in a match.
