history

A third division was only introduced in the English rugby league in 1994/95, in the penultimate season before the Super League was founded . In addition, the bottom of the table in the first division and the last nine teams in the second division rose and formed the third division with a team from the National Conference League. This was integrated into the league system from 1996 onwards.

Up until 1998 there was promotion and relegation between the second and third division, with the number of promoted teams fluctuating depending on the season. That changed in 1999 when the second and third divisions were combined into a single league called Premiership. From 1999 to 2002 there was no third division before the Premiership was split up into a second and a third division for the 2003 season. In contrast to the first and second division, the format has changed only slightly since then. The top of the table has been promoted automatically since 2003, and at the moment there is also the possibility for a team to qualify by winning the Grand Final. This format was often slightly modified depending on the season. B. the first two teams together with the final winner.
