Tohoku Promotion and Relegation Series

In order to decide the direct exchange between two divisions, two D2 winners played against each other in two-legged series. Cobaltore Onagawa defeated Fuji Club 2003 and received direct promotion to Division 1, replacing the bottom-placed Sendai Nakada, while Fuji Club 2003 were scheduled to face Shiogama Wiese in another two-legged series. By overall result, Shiogama Wiese have saved their Division 1 position.

The bottom-placed teams in both groups of Division 2 were directly relegated to the prefectural leagues, though in the north FC Shiwa have escaped relegation because of post-season disbandment of Grulla Istria. Their spots were filled by Omiya FC and Scheinen Fukushima, respectively. Second to last finishers, ReinMeer Aomori and Soma SC were scheduled to play against Hokuto Bank S.C. and Sakata Migaku Club, respectively, and both won their challenges, thus remaining in the Regional League for another year.

2010 Hokushin'etsu League D2 teams

2009 was the 6th season of Hokushin'etsu League Division 2. It was won by CUPS Seiro, but being a reserve team of Japan Soccer College, they were not eligible to promotion. Instead, the runner-up and the third-placed team, Antelope Shiojiri and Teihens FC respectively, were promoted.

Due to no team being relegated from D1, no relegation occurred in D2 either. After the season, Fukui KSC and Artista Tomi were promoted from Prefectural leagues.
