2024 NRFL Leagues
Season | 2024 |

← 2023 2025 → |
The 2024 NRFL Leagues is the 60th and 58th seasons respectively of the NRFL Championship and NRFL Conference, football competitions in New Zealand. Established in 1965, currently twelve teams compete in the championship while eight teams compete in the Northern and Southern sections of the Conference League.
The week the Northern League and NRFL Championship started, NRF announced changes to the competition structure for the 2024 season to accommodate Auckland FC.[1] Auckland FC will have a reserves team playing in the qualifying and championship phases of the New Zealand National League from next season to fulfil their A-League Men requirements.[2] To allow space for Auckland FC, the Northern League will now have a relegation play-off between the 10th place team and the runners up of the NRFL Championship for this season only. This also means an additional team will be relegated from the NRFL Championship and from the NRFL Conference leagues (with potential for further relegations to keep the conference leagues at 8 teams).[1][3]
Northern League
[edit]The Northern League sits above the two NRFL Divisions and is also overseen by Northern Region Football, despite being run by New Zealand Football as part of the New Zealand National League.
Twelve teams will compete in the league – the top ten teams from the previous season and the two teams promoted from the 2023 Championship. The promoted teams are Tauranga City and East Coast Bays.[4] This is both Tauranga's and East Coast Bay's first season in the Northern League. They replaced Takapuna (two seasons) and Manukau United (three seasons).[5]
