The National Division 1 is the third tier of rugby league in France, below the Elite 2 Championship and above the National Division 2. The season runs from September to April.[1]
The winner can be promoted to Elite Two subject to having adequate finances and facilities. Occasionally if the winners are not able to be promoted, or opt out, then the team finishing second could be promoted.
