The National Premier Leagues NSW 2 is an Australian semi-professional association football league comprising teams from New South Wales. The league sits at Level 2 on the New South Wales league system, behind the National Premier Leagues NSW, (Level 3 of the overall Australian league system). The competition is administered by Football NSW, the governing body of the sport in the southern region of the state (the northern region governed by Northern NSW Football). Prior to 2013, the league was formally known as the NSW Super League.

History

Following a review by the FFA of state league competitions in Australia, it was announced that they would nationalise the competitions under the one national banner, the National Premier Leagues from the 2013 seasons onwards.[1] This saw the first and second tier leagues of the state renamed under the banner.

The inaugural NSW NPL2 winners in 2013 were St George FC.

Format

The regular season consists of 22 rounds with each team playing each other twice-home and away. Following the regular season the top five teams on the table play in a finals series using the following format:

Promotion/relegation

Promotion & Relegation is done quite differently in the NSW region of the National Premier Leagues as it is based on the performances of the Seniors, U20's and U18's. The 3 teams are awarded points based on ladder position culminating into an overall club championship ladder that ultimately determines if the club is promoted or relegated.[2]
