2010 Russian Professional Rugby League season

The 2009 Russian Professional Rugby League season was the fifth season of the Russian Professional Rugby League.

Contents

This season saw yet another change in structure for the competition. The two-stage competition was retained, whereby the championship was still split into East and West. The somewhat complicated structure was as follows:

Stage One:

  • The professional teams divided into two groups based on geography, East (6) and West (5).
  • The top three teams from each group qualified for the Super League (Pos 1 - 6).
  • The bottom two clubs from the West entered a play-off stage against qualifying teams from the Federal Leagues to qualify for Stage Two (Pos 7 - 12).
  • The fourth (4th) ranked club in the East qualified automatically for Stage Two (Pos 7 - 12).

    • Stage Two:

  • Super League (Pos 1 - 6)
  • Play-offs (Pos 7 - 12)

    • Stage One East Division

  • South Krasnodar
  • Narva Zastava (St Petersberg)
  • Air Force Academy Monino
  • Nalchik

    • The six teams were divided into two groups of three. The top three ranked sides then entered a final stage in which they were joined by Rugby Academy Krasnoyarsk (after Kosmos Krasnoyarsk pulled out).
