The Northern Regional Football League Conference, currently known as Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Conference for sponsorship reasons, is a New Zealand Semi-Professional football league. The league is run by the Auckland Football Federation and includes football clubs located in the northern part of the North Island, New Zealand. It is open to clubs from the Northland, Auckland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty provinces. Up until 2022, the competition was known as NRFL Division 2, and was not split into Northern and Southern competitions.[1][2][3]

The fixtures are generally played from April to September. Clubs are able to win promotion to NRFL Championship.

The current champions are Franklin United (Northern) and Waikato Unicol (Southern). Franklin United were promoted to the 2024 NRFL Championship season.
