The Rugby League Reserve Team Championship is a rugby league competition for the reserve teams of the British based Super League clubs. Having a reserve team is a compulsory part of the minimum criteria to hold a Super League license, but Catalans Dragons have dispensation to run their reserve team in the French Elite League for logistical reasons. The Rugby League Reserve Team First Division is a rugby league competition for the reserve teams of Championship clubs, although there is no longer an obligation for clubs in the Championship to enter a reserve team. The previous competition for reserve teams was known as the Alliance and on occasion featured the first teams of non-league semi-professional clubs including Hemel Stags and Blackpool Gladiators. The current competition was formed in 2006 as a replacement for the Senior Academy competition for under-21s.
