The Scottish 2nd XV League is the largest of the three organisations operating 2nd XV Leagues in Scotland. Contrary to it's name, it does in fact include some 3rd XVs in its membership. Originally all 2nd XV rugby union league matches were played under the auspices of the Scottish 2nd XV League, however in recent years a number of breakaways have occurred - clubs in the Scottish Borders forming their own Borders Championship, and clubs in Edinburgh and the Lothians the Edinburgh & Lothian 2nd XV League (although confusingly, some clubs have their 2nd XVs in the Scottish and their 3rd XVs in this breakaway body). The league is part of the Scottish Rugby Union.
The league was formerly called the Inter-City 2nd XV League prior to adopting its current title.
Promotion and relegation
The league has no current system for promotion and relegation, although according to its minutes for 2006, discussion is to take place on their creation. Clubs are currently appointed to a given division.
