Cumbria 2 was a shortlived competitive rugby union league at tier 8 of the English rugby union system run by the English Rugby Football Union for club sides based in Cumbria. Teams were promoted to Cumbria 1 and as it was the lowest ranked RFU league in the county there is no relegation. Each season a team from Cumbria 2 was picked to take part in the RFU Senior Vase - a national competition for clubs at level 8.

Cumbria 2 was formed for the 2018-19 season when the RFU had to restructure the Cumbria and northern leagues due to 19 Lancashire based clubs withdrawing from the league structure to form their own competition. A consequence of this was that North Lancashire/Cumbria was cancelled and the Cumbria League was split into two divisions, with the North Lancashire/Cumbria clubs joining the top 3 Cumbria League clubs in Cumbria 1, and the rest of the sides (including some 2nd XV teams) forming Cumbria 2.[1][2]

After just one season Cumbria 2 was cancelled with teams moving into a single division Cumbria 1.
