Durham/Northumberland 2 (2000–present)
Northern league restructuring by the RFU at the end of the 1999–2000 season saw the cancellation of North East 1, North East 2 and North East 3 (tiers 7–9). This meant that Durham/Northumberland 2 became a tier 8 league.

Notes
- ^ Runners up Guisborough alongside Whitby, Seaham and West Hartlepool TDSOB were promoted due to league restructuring caused by the cancellation of Durham/Northumberland 4 at the end of season.
- ^ Due to league restructuring caused by the cancellation of Durham/Northumberland 4 there would be no relegation this season.
- ^ Due to restructuring six clubs, including Sedgefield, Seaham, Hartlepool B.B.O.B., Houghton, Richmondshire, Billingham, were relegated to Durham/Northumberland 3. This was done to decrease league sizes and begin home and away fixtures in order to inaugurate North East 3 and the re-introduction of Durham/Northumberland 4 for the following season.
- ^ 9th placed Darlington Railway Athletic would be dissolved at the end of the season.
- ^ No promotion this season as division set to increase from 10 to 12 teams for 2000-01.
- ^ Redcar, Novocastrians were also promoted. The reason for more promotions than usual was because Durham/Northumberland 1 was due to increase from 12 to 14 teams for 2009-10.
- ^ Due to the increased number of teams being promoted from the division to Durham/Northumberland 1 there would be no relegation this season.
- ^ 3 teams relegated due to relegations from higher leagues.
