Fédérale 2 is the fourth and last division of women's rugby union in France. The winner is promoted to Fédérale 1, while four teams from Fédérale 1 are relegated to this competition.

History

[edit]

After several years of existence, the 2nd federal division was discontinued following the 2014–15 season after the merging of the three federal divisions that existed until then into a single federal division called Pratique à XV.[1]

It was revived for the 2016–17 season onwards in a format that involved 60 teams, either individually or in combined teams. The championship was played in three phases: a preliminary phase (12 groups of 5), a playoff phase (6 groups of 4), and a final phase.
