==Participating clubs 2022–23==

This was the first season following the [[RFU]] Adult Competition Review. The league was substantially similar to [[Yorkshire 2]] with teams ranked 4th to 12th returning (1st to 3rd were 'promoted' to [[Counties 1 Yorkshire]] and the bottom two 'relegated' to [[Counties 3 Yorkshire]]) and supplemented by top 3 from [[Yorkshire 3]] and so with five departing but only three arriving the league was reduced from 14 teams to 12.

Counties 2 Yorkshire, previously known as Yorkshire 2 is an English rugby union league at the eighth tier of the domestic competition for teams from Yorkshire. Club rugby in Yorkshire operates without promotion play-offs meaning that the top two teams are automatically promoted to Counties 1 Yorkshire and the bottom two teams are relegated to Counties 3 Yorkshire. Each season a team from Yorkshire 2 is picked to take part in the RFU Senior Vase - a national competition for clubs at level 8.

Participating clubs 2024-25

Participating clubs 2023–24

Participating clubs 2022–23

This was the first season following the RFU Adult Competition Review. The league was substantially similar to Yorkshire 2 with teams ranked 4th to 12th returning (1st to 3rd were 'promoted' to Counties 1 Yorkshire and the bottom two 'relegated' to Counties 3 Yorkshire) and supplemented by top 3 from Yorkshire 3 and so with five departing but only three arriving the league was reduced from 14 teams to 12.

Participating clubs 2021–22

The teams competing in 2021-22 achieved their places in the league based on performances in 2019-20, the 'previous season' column in the table below refers to that season not 2020-21.

Season 2020–21

On 30 October 2020 the RFU announced[1] that due to the coronavirus pandemic a decision had been taken to cancel Adult Competitive Leagues (National League 1 and below) for the 2020/21 season meaning Yorkshire 2 was not contested.

Original teams

When league rugby began in 1987 this division contained the following teams:

Yorkshire 2 honours

Yorkshire 2 (1987–1993)

The original Yorkshire 2 was a tier 10 league with promotion up to Yorkshire 1 and relegation down to Yorkshire 3.

Yorkshire 2
Season No of Teams Champions Runners–up Relegated Teams
1987–88 11 North Ribblesdale Huddersfield Y.M.C.A. Leodiensian, Old Otliensians
1988–89 11 Bridlington Doncaster Ionians, Marist
1989–90 11 Malton & Norton York Railway Institute Sheffield Tigers

1991–92 11 Bradford Salem Goole[b] No relegation[c]
1992–93 13 Wath upon Dearne Ilkley Knottingly
Green backgrounds are promotion places.

Yorkshire 2 (1993–2000)

The creation of National 5 North for the 1993–94 season meant that Yorkshire 2 dropped to become a tier 11 league. A further restructure at the end of the 1995–96 season, which included the cancellation of National 5 North and the addition of North East 3 at tier 9, saw Yorkshire 2 remain at tier 11.

Yorkshire 2
Season No of Teams Champions Runners–up Relegated Teams

Yorkshire 2 (2000–present)

Northern league restructuring by the RFU at the end of the 1999–2000 season saw the cancellation of North East 1, North East 2 and North East 3 (tiers 7–9). This meant that Yorkshire 2 became a tier 8 league.

  1. ^ Ionians would later merge with Hull & East Riding to form Hull Ionians for the 1989–90 season.[2]
  2. ^ League restructuring due to the cancellation of Yorkshire 6 ahead of the 1992–93 season, meant five clubs were promoted into Yorkshire 1 including Wheatley Hills, Yarnbury and Sheffield Oaks.
  3. ^ League restructuring due to the cancellation of Yorkshire 6 ahead of the 1992–93 season, meant no clubs were relegated and seven clubs would be promoted from Yorkshire 3.
  4. ^ Yorkshire league restructuring due to reintroduction of Yorkshire 6 ahead of the 1996–97 season meant that seven clubs, including Skipton, West Leeds, Aireborough, Hemsworth, Hessle, Wetherby, Huddersfield Y.M.C.A., were relegated into Yorkshire 3.
  5. ^ Dinnington and Yarnbury were also promoted.
  6. ^ No relegation as division due to increase from 11 to 14 teams for the following season.
  7. ^ Only 1 team relegated this season meaning 13th placed Old Crossleyans were safe.
