Prior to the 2008 Season Beginning the RFL decided to abolish promotion and relegation to and from Super League and instead awarding "licences" for 14 clubs to enter Super League in 2009. The Licence process took several months before it was announced on July 22nd that Salford City Reds and Celtic Crusaders would join the 12 current clubs in Super League from 2009 - a period which will last for three years. Ahead of a re-structure of the National Leagues in 2009, three teams got promoted from National League 2 in 2008 with only the bottom club in National League 1 being relegated.
