Wikipedia - National Conference League
The National Conference League (known as the Impact Performance National Conference League for sponsorship reasons and often abbreviated to simply NCL) is the fourth tier of the male British rugby league structure, currently consisting of top-level amateur clubs based wholly within Northern England.
Since 2012, the National Conference League operates over a summer season in line with the professional game.
History
The league was founded as the BARLA National League for the 1986–87 season with 10 teams: Dudley Hill, Egremont Rangers, Heworth, Leigh Miners Welfare (now Leigh Miners Rangers), Milford Marlins, Millom, Pilkington Recs, West Hull, Wigan St Patrick's and Woolston Rovers. The original NCL concept was one team per town.
The league added a second division in 1989, and expanded to three divisions (now named premier, first and second as opposed to first and second) along with a rebrand to the current name of National Conference League in 1993.
Somewhat confusingly, in the late 1990s and 2000s another major amateur competition was also titled conference: the Rugby League Conference (RLC), which operated a summer season as opposed to the traditional winter season retained by the NCL. The move to a summer season by the NCL in 2012 and a reorganisation by the RFL resulted in a merger of the leagues and the creation of a new NCL 3rd division out of the old RLC National Division, which was replaced by the Conference League South in 2013.
La NCL est divisée en deux divisions, la Premier Division et la Division One. La Premier Division est composée de 12 équipes, tandis que la Division One en compte 10. La saison régulière se déroule de février à août, chaque équipe disputant 22 matchs. Les vainqueurs de la Premier Division sont promus en League 1, tandis que les vainqueurs de la Division One sont promus en Premier Division. Les équipes classées dernières de chaque division sont reléguées dans la Division inférieure.
La NCL est un tremplin important pour les jeunes joueurs cherchant à percer dans le rugby à XIII professionnel. De nombreux joueurs de la NCL ont ensuite évolué en Super League, notamment le demi de mêlée de St Helens, Jonny Lomax, et l'ailier d'Hull FC, Adam Swift.
La NCL est également un vivier de talents pour les entraîneurs. L'actuel entraîneur de la Grande-Bretagne, Shaun Wane, a commencé sa carrière d'entraîneur à la NCL, et d'autres entraîneurs à succès comme Chris Chester et Lee Briers ont également fait leurs armes dans cette ligue.
