2008–09 National Division One
The 2008–09 National Division One was the 22nd full season of rugby union within the second tier of the English league system, currently known as the RFU Championship. Leeds Carnegie joined National Division One, having been relegated from the Guinness Premiership after the 2007–08 season.[1] Otley and Manchester were promoted from the 2007–08 National Division Two.[2]

Leeds Carnegie won a quick promotion back to the Guinness Premiership, while five teams were relegated to the newly named 2009–10 National League 1: Esher, Sedgley Park, Newbury, Otley and Manchester.[3][4] The reason for the large number of teams being relegated was due to the league being restructured the next season from 16 to 12 teams as the new RFU Championship was introduced.[5]

- Notes
- Note that 2 home attendance are missing (see below) - so the total attendance will not be 100% accurate. The average attendance has also been taken into account with the missing game not included.
- Manchester would play their 'home' game against Leeds Tykes in Leeds due to floodlight issues which would have the knock on effect of boosting their season attendance figures as 1,781 supporters turned up to watch this game, almost all of whom were Leeds fans.[6]
- Missing home attendance v Exeter Chiefs on 21 March 2009.
- Home game against Moseley on 9 May 2009 was cancelled.
