Tribute Cornwall 2 is an English level ten rugby union league for clubs based in Cornwall. The champions (and in some seasons the runner-up) are promoted to Tribute Cornwall 1; there is no relegation. The league had run continuously since 1987–88, except for a two-season break, when Cornwall 2 was combined with Cornwall League 1 for seasons 2009–10 and 2010–11. The competition recommenced in 2011–12 when it was decided to form two leagues of seven teams each.[1] Lankelly-Fowey won the second phase and have won Cornwall 2 for the first time. St Agnes and Helston are the most successful team having won the league on five occasions each.

For the 2016–17 season Cornwall 1 and Cornwall 2 were amalgamated to create the Tribute Cornwall League with fifteen teams playing each other once in the first phase. After Christmas the teams split into two leagues with the top eight playing in Cornwall One and the remainder playing in Cornwall Two.[2][3]

For the 2018-19 season Cornwall League 1 and Cornwall League 2 would revert to being separate divisions.
