The 2022–23 National League 2 North was the 35th season of the fourth tier (north) of the English domestic rugby union competitions; one of three at this level. The others are, the newly formed, National League 2 East and National League 2 West. Previously, there were two leagues at level four; this league and National League 2 South.

Sedgley Park became champions with one match to play and are promoted to National League One, while Blaydon and Harrogate are relegated to Regional 1 North East.

Structure

The league consists of fourteen teams and each play the others on a home and away basis, to make a total of 26 matches each. The champions are promoted to National League 1 and the last two teams are relegated to Regional 1 North East or Regional 1 North West; depending on their location.

The results of the matches contribute points to the league as follows:

• 4 points are awarded for a win
• 2 points are awarded for a draw
• 0 points are awarded for a loss, however
• 1 losing (bonus) point is awarded to a team that loses a match by 7 points or fewer
• 1 additional (bonus) point is awarded to a team scoring 4 tries or more in a match.

Hull, as last season’s champions, were promoted, and four teams were transferred to the newly formed National League 2 West; Bournville, Loughborough Students, Luctonians and Stourbridge.
