The 2024–25 National League 2 North was the 37th season of the fourth-tier (north) of the English domestic rugby union competitions; one of three at this level. The others are National League 2 East and National League 2 West.

Leeds Tykes finished the season as champions on 5 April with two games to go, following their away victory against Sheffield Tigers whilst nearest challengers Sheffield lost at Lymm. Leeds would be promoted back into the 2025–26 National League 1 after an absence of two seasons. While the title battle had been relatively close for the majority of the season, with three sides in close contention, in the end it was fairly comfortable for Tykes who finished 8 points clear of runners up Sheffield and 21 points ahead of 3rd placed Lymm.

The relegation battle was extremely keenly fought with four teams facing the drop by the final game. In the end it was Harrogate who were the unlucky side, despite a 48 – 35 victory against relegation rivals, Billingham, due to Billingham getting a try bonus and Preston Grasshoppers and Hull winning their respective games. Harrogate would finish with 52 points equal with Billingham but would go down as they had less wins - 6 to Billingham's 9.

Billingham were extra fortunate as normally they would have been relegated due to finishing second from bottom, but reorganisation of the RFU Championship expanding to 14 teams for the 2025–26 season, meant that the best ranked 13th placed team in National 2 would stay up, and Billingham did this comfortably with 52 points keeping them up at the expense of Bournville (National 2 West - 41 points) Colchester (National 2 East - 34 points).
