2007 National League Two was a semi-professional rugby league football competition played in the United Kingdom, the third tier of the sport in the country. The winner of this league and the play-off winner were promoted to National League One. There was no relegation from this league as it was the lowest tier of professional rugby league in the UK.
Celtic Crusaders won the title to earn automatic promotion following second-placed Featherstone's loss to Barrow in the final round of the regular season.[1] A month later, Featherstone were promoted too when they defeated Oldham 24–6 in the play-off final.[2]
