NSW League Two

The NSW League Two Men is an Australian semi-professional soccer league comprising teams from New South Wales. The league sits at Level 3 on the New South Wales league system (Level 4 of the overall Australian league system). The competition is administered by Football NSW, the governing body of the sport in the southern region of the state (the northern region governed by Northern NSW Football). At the conclusion of the 2015 season it was announced that the State League 1 would become the NPL3[1] and in 2022 seasons onwards, the league name changed again from "National Premier League 3 NSW" to "Football NSW League Two".[2]
