The National Conference League (NCL) comprises the five levels of the British rugby league system at the top end of the amateur pyramid below the professional League One. It comes under the jurisdiction of the Rugby Football League (RFL). The NCL has promotion and relegation between the Premier Division and Division Three; there is no promotion or relegation between the Conference League South, regional leagues or promotion to League One without an application to the RFL.
