The 1999-00 Premiership 2 was the thirteenth full season of rugby union within the second tier of the English league system, currently known as the RFU Championship. Allied Dunbar sponsored the top two divisions of the English rugby union leagues for the third season in a row. The leagues were previously known as the Courage Clubs Championship and sponsored by Courage Brewery. New teams to the division included West Hartlepool who had been relegated from Premiership 1 while Henley Hawks and Manchester had been promoted from National League 1. Exeter were also rebranded as the 'Chiefs' from this season onward. [2]

Contents

Rotherham, the champions, were promoted to the Allied Dunbar Premiership for season 2000–01 after beating the 12th placed team from that division, (Bedford), in a two legged play–off. [3] There was only one promotion place available and the runners–up Leeds Tykes remained in Premiership 2 for the following season. Rugby and West Hartlepool were relegated to the 2000–01 National Division Two. [4]
