Liverpool St Helens

The 1991–92 National Division 2 (sponsored by Courage Brewery) was the fifth season of the second tier of the English rugby union league system, the Courage Clubs Championship, currently known as Champ Rugby. New teams to the division included Moseley and Liverpool St Helens who were demoted from tier 1, while West Hartlepool and Morley were promoted from tier 3.

London Scottish, the champions, were promoted to the 1992–93 National Division 1 along with the runner-up West Hartlepool. In last place, Liverpool St Helens became the first team to lose all their league matches in one season, and along with Plymouth Albion who finished one place above them, are relegated to the 1992–93 National Division 3 for the following season. Liverpool St Helens have been promoted or relegated in each of the five seasons of league rugby, and are relegated for the second season in succession.

Structure

Each side in the division played the others once to make a total of twelve matches each. The top two sides would be promoted to National Division 1 while the bottom two would drop to National Division 3.
