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)

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).
