The rugby league conference is a group of regionally based divisions of amateur teams spread throughout England, Scotland and Wales. In the 2007 season there were 13 divisions in the rugby league conference (1 National, 4 Premier (Northern, Midlands, Southern and Welsh) and 8 Regional (Scotland, North West, Cheshire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, West and West Midlands, South West, South and East). By far the most popular group is the national section of the rugby league conference.

The concept behind the rugby league conference was to provide regular fixtures for new clubs based outside the heartland of rugby league, although now the rugby league conference has taken off nationwide it also accepts heartland teams. It is hoped that many of the teams currently playing in the rugby league conference will eventually progress to become semi-professional teams that could join the national competitions, but to date only the London Skolars have taken this route.

By far the most popular part of the conference is the national part of the competition. The ten teams play each other on a home and away basis providing eighteen games. The top six teams then enter the end of season play-offs in the same format as the play-offs for the Super and National leagues.
