Co-operative Championship



The Rugby Football League Championship (known as Co-operative Championship due to sponsorship by The Co-operative Group) was formerly called National League One. With the inclusion of a French team in 2009 (Toulouse) it has taken a more European dimension and has changed its denomination. It acts as the second tier competition below the Super League.

Championship teams are only allowed one quota player. The division below the Championship is the Championship 1 (previously National League Two).
