The 2001 NPC, the Air New Zealand National Provincial Championship, had 3 Divisions with 11 teams in Division 1, 9 teams in Division 2 and 7 teams in Division 3. The last placed Division 1 team was automatically relegated. A promotion/relegation match was played between the second to last placed Division 1 team and the winner of Division 2. This allowed for a change to a 10 team Division 1 the following year. |
