The 1992–93 National Division 2 (sponsored by Courage Brewery) was the sixth 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 Nottingham and Rosslyn Park who were relegated down from the top flight, while West Hartlepool, Fylde and Richmond were promoted up from tier 3.

At the sixth attempt, Newcastle Gosforth the champions, were promoted to the 1993–94 National Division 1. Due to next seasons restructuring of teams in the top two divisions, second placed Waterloo did not gain promotion and seven teams were relegated to the 1993–94 National Division 3. They were Bedford, Rosslyn Park, Richmond, Blackheath, Coventry, Flyde and Morley. Rosslyn Park were relegated for the second successive season.

Structure

Each team played one match against each of the other teams, playing a total of twelve matches each. Due to next seasons reduction of teams from thirteen to ten in the top two divisions, only one team would be promoted to National Division 1 while seven teams would drop down to National Division 3.
