The 2005–06 National Division One was the 19th full season of rugby union within the second tier of the English league system, currently known as the RFU Championship . New teams to the division included Harlequins who had been relegated from the 2004–05 Zurich Premiership , while Doncaster and Newbury were promoted from the 2004–05 National Division Two .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] Additional changes saw Penzance & Newyln RFC rebrand themselves as the Cornish Pirates as well as moving from their home ground, the Mennaye Field in Penzance , to a more central location in Truro at the Kenwyn Rugby Ground (a temporary stadium built in the city) with the aim to appeal more to Cornish fans on the whole as well as making home games more accessible.[ 4] Rotherham Titans also rebranded themselves as 'Earth Titans' for sponsorship purposes for this season.[ 5]
After only one season Harlequins won the National Division One at the first attempt and returned to the Guinness Premiership for season 2006–07 .[ 6] Bedford Blues finished in second place and there was no relegation to National Division Two following the RFU's decision to expand National Division One from 14 to 16 teams for the 2006–07 season .[ 7] [ 8]

Notes:
^ Coventry were docked two points for an administrative error when re–registering a player, Dave Millard. Following a foot injury, the winger was loaned to junior club Kenilworth while he was recovering. He returned before the game against Bedford on 27 December 2005 where he was named among the seven replacements. There was an error in the paperwork submitted to the RFU , and although Millard was not used, Coventry were found guilty.
