The National Conference League is the top league in the pyramid of amateur leagues run by the British Amateur Rugby League Association (BARLA). The National Conference was a 'winter' league but voted to switch to a summer season for the 2012 season.

The five regional leagues beneath the NCL are the Pennine League, the Yorkshire League, the North West Counties League, the Cumberland League and the Hull & District League. There is also a Barrow & District League, however this is nearly all reserve sides with the odd team that can not afford the travelling costs involved in competing in the North West Counties League. Teams from these regional leagues can apply for election to the National Conference League if they meet stringent minimum criteria.

Somewhat confusingly, another major summer amateur competition for clubs is also titled conference: the Rugby League Conference (RLC). The NCL is seen as being the top division for 'traditional' clubs from the 'heartland' areas of rugby league, whilst the RLC consists mostly of clubs from other areas of the country. The move to a summer season by the NCL in 2012 and a reorganisation by the RFL resulted in the creation of an NCL 3rd division out of the old Rugby League Conference National Division.
