The 1999 Northern Ford Premiership season was the second tier of British rugby league during the 1999 season. The competition featured eighteen teams, with Dewsbury Rams finishing as league leaders and Hunslet Hawks winning the Grand Final.
Championship
[edit]The league was won by Dewsbury Rams. Dewsbury also reached the Grand Final, but lost to Hunslet Hawks, with Hunslet's Latham Tawhai winning the Tom Bergin Trophy. Hunslet were not promoted to the Super League however, as their stadium did not meet the minimum requirements to be accepted into the league.
