2008 National League One was a semi-professional rugby league football competition played in the United Kingdom, the second tier of the sport in the country. In July 2008, it was announced that Celtic Crusaders and Salford City Reds (who went on to finish as the top two in the league and contest the grand final) had been granted licenses to join the Super League in 2009. Dewsbury Rams, the bottom-placed team, were relegated to renamed Championship 1 (formerly National League 2).
