Elite 2 (formerly the Elite Two Championship) is the second tier semi-professional rugby league competition in France below Super XIII, but above the National Division 1. The regular season runs from September/October to April.[1][2] The clubs play each other home and away before entering into a series of play-off matches resulting in a Grand Final.[2] The winners can gain promotion to Super XIII providing they meet a minimum criteria. Occasionally the runners-up could be offered promotion. Promotion to Elite 2 from the National Divisions is also based on similar criteria.[3]

History

[edit | edit source]

The Elite Two Championship was formed in 2002 when the French Rugby League Championship was split into two Elite One and Elite Two.
