The 2009 Russian Professional Rugby League season was the fifth season of the Russian Professional Rugby League.

This season saw yet another change in structure for the competition. The two-stage competition was retained, whereby the championship was still split into East and West. The somewhat complicated structure was as follows:

Stage One:

• The professional teams divided into two groups based on geography, East (6) and West (5).
• The top three teams from each group qualified for the Super League (Pos 1 - 6).
• The bottom two clubs from the West entered a play-off stage against qualifying teams from the Federal Leagues to qualify for Stage Two (Pos 7 - 12).
• The fourth (4th) ranked club in the East qualified automatically for Stage Two (Pos 7 - 12).

Stage Two:

• Super League (Pos 1 - 6)
• Play-offs (Pos 7 - 12)

1. Yenisey-STM Krasnoyarsk

West Division Standings

At this stage the two non-qualified West Division teams, Fili Moscow and Spartak-GM Moscow, entered a round-robin stage against teams that qualified from the Federal District Leagues, which were:

• South Krasnodar
• Narva Zastava (St Petersberg)
• Air Force Academy Monino
• Nalchik

The six teams were divided into two groups of three. The top three ranked sides then entered a final stage in which they were joined by Rugby Academy Krasnoyarsk (after Kosmos Krasnoyarsk pulled out).
