The 2019 champions were London Irish, winning automatic promotion to Premiership Rugby. It also offers a better comparison between seasons as the division team numbers are roughly equal (for example when league rugby union first started in 1987-88 the Courage League National Division Two had 12 teams playing 11 games each, compared to 12 teams in 1996-97 playing 24 games (home & away), going up to 16 teams in 2009-10 playing 30 games, back to 12 teams playing 24 games with additional playoff games). Silversmiths Thomas Lyte created a new trophy for the launch.[6]. The formats of both the promotion and relegation play-offs were criticised after that first season. If the play-offs winner and/or runner-up fall short of minimum standards criteria (in grounds etc.) Note that there is very little attendance data prior to the 2000-01 season so it is possible that previous seasons had lower average attendances. This figure is taken from the regular 2009–10 RFU Championship season and does not include the relegation group games. These are the 12 teams which made up the original league when league rugby began in 1987: Note that most records are from 1996-97 season onwards (aside from league champions, promotion and relegation data) as this is widely held as the dawn of professionalism across the English club game except in a few areas.

Find out which rugby union teams are leading the pack or at the foot of the table in the Greene King IPA Championship on BBC Sport [2], Since 2009–10 season the team that wins the Championship league is not automatically promoted to the Premiership, instead a play-off competition takes place to determine which team is promoted. The third- and fourth-placed clubs started on 2 points. The clubs believed they should have receive £295,000 in 2009–10, rising to £400,000 by 2015–16 and further believe there was a breach of contract on the part of the RFU. The 2009–10 RFU Championship season was the first in which the league was fully professional. That did not apply in 2009–10, as the RFU announced before the second leg of the Championship final that both participants, Bristol and Exeter, met the criteria for promotion. Yorkshire Carnegie were relegated to National League 1 after finishing bottom of the 2019-20 RFU Championship. [2] Ampthill are promoted to the RFU Championship, whilst Richmond are relegated to National League 1 for the 2019-20 season.
