Teams compete in two conferences: the Western Conference, which consists of teams from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, and the Eastern Conference, which is further divided into Red and White sub-conferences and includes teams from Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada. Currently the league operates based on hub-style tournaments, and a team can expect to host 1–2 such tournaments a season, while traveling for an additional 4–5.{{Cite news |last=Rasche |first=Teagan |date=March 12, 2023 |title='We want to grow the sport': Manitoba Herd ringette team host top talent |work=Global News |url=https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/golf/we-want-to-grow-the-sport-manitoba-herd-ringette-team-host-top-talent/ar-AA18xwg4 |access-date=July 18, 2023 |publisher=MSN}} NRL games are divided into four 13-minute periods.{{cite web |year=2023 |title=What is RINGETTE |url=https://www.ringette.ca/our-sport/what-is-ringette/ |access-date=March 10, 2023 |website=ringette.ca |publisher=Ringette Canada |language=en}}

Characteristic of North American sports, the NRL is a closed league with no relegation. There is an annual draft in between seasons, which is the main entry for new players in the league. The NRL runs four regional drafts; in 2011, there was one for the region of Ottawa and Gatineau,{{Cite web |title=Ottawa-Gatineau 2011 draft results |url=http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/ottawa-gatineau-2011-draft-results-r-sultats-de-rep-chage-de-ottawa-gatineau-2011-p171634-en |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827145717/http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/ottawa-gatineau-2011-draft-results-r-sultats-de-rep-chage-de-ottawa-gatineau-2011-p171634-en |archive-date=August 27, 2011 |access-date=January 27, 2012}} another one for Manitoba,{{Cite web |title=Manitoba Draft results 2011 |url=http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/manitoba-draft-results-2011-r-sultats-de-rep-chage-du-manitoba-2011-p171577-en |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827141255/http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/manitoba-draft-results-2011-r-sultats-de-rep-chage-du-manitoba-2011-p171577-en |archive-date=August 27, 2011 |access-date=January 27, 2012}} another for Southern Ontario,{{Cite web |title=Southern Ontario draft results/ |url=http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/southern-ontario-draft-results-r-sultats-de-rep-chage-du-sud-de-l-ontario-p171527-en |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827141421/http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/southern-ontario-draft-results-r-sultats-de-rep-chage-du-sud-de-l-ontario-p171527-en |archive-date=August 27, 2011 |access-date=January 27, 2012}} and another for the Montreal region.{{Cite web |title=Montreal Division draft results 2011/ |url=http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/montreal-division-draft-results-2011-r-sultats-de-rep-chage-de-division-de-montr-al-2011-p171601-fr |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827150403/http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/montreal-division-draft-results-2011-r-sultats-de-rep-chage-de-division-de-montr-al-2011-p171601-fr |archive-date=August 27, 2011 |access-date=January 27, 2012}} Trading among teams is also common.{{cite web |date=February 2, 2011 |title=Busy trade deadline for National Ringette League |url=http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/beaucoup-d-changes-de-derni-re-minute-dans-la-ligue-nationale-de-ringuette-p169156-en |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029203250/http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/beaucoup-d-changes-de-derni-re-minute-dans-la-ligue-nationale-de-ringuette-p169156-en |archive-date=October 29, 2013 |access-date=October 2, 2022 |website=nationalringetteleague.ca |publisher=National Ringette League |language=en}}

Some players are selected from the league to help form Canada's national ringette teams, while the league also draws some international players, especially from Finland. In some cases, players have been traded between clubs in Canada's NRL to Ringette Finland's semi-professional ringette league, SM Ringette (formerly called {{interlanguage link|Ringeten SM-sarja|fi}}), and vice versa.

The NRL maintains a collaboration with the lower Ringette leagues in regards to the development of the young female players, therefore several teams of the NRL have affiliated development teams for Under 19 years old and Under 16 years old. The Canadian Ringette Championships for U16 and U19 takes place in the same place as the NRL playoff tournament elimination.{{Cite web |title=2011 Tim Hortons Canadian ringette championships underway in Cambridge |url=http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/le-championnat-canadien-de-ringuette-tim-hortons-de-2011-a-commenc-cambridge--p170347-en |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202035621/http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/le-championnat-canadien-de-ringuette-tim-hortons-de-2011-a-commenc-cambridge--p170347-en |archive-date=February 2, 2017 |access-date=January 27, 2012}}{{Cite web |title=Alberta U16, Quebec U19 and Edmonton WAM! golden at Canadian ringette championships |url=http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/alberta-u16-quebec-u19-and-edmonton-wam-golden-at-canadian-ringette-championships--p170462-en |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202035441/http://www.nationalringetteleague.ca/alberta-u16-quebec-u19-and-edmonton-wam-golden-at-canadian-ringette-championships--p170462-en |archive-date=February 2, 2017 |access-date=January 27, 2012}} It is this tournament which allows the tracers and talent scouts for the NRL teams to identify emerging young athletes as potential future NRL players.

In 2008, the budget of each NRL team varied between $15,000 and $20000.{{in lang|fr}} [http://www.cyberpresse.ca/le-droit/sports/200810/17/01-30415-le-fusion-de-gatineau-lance-sa-saison-inaugurale.php Le Fusion de Gatineau lance sa saison inaugurale] The teams and the league contribute to cover all the transport spending, accommodation, and rent of arenas. The players must find their own financiers to pay for their equipment and personal spending and the players are not paid for play.

Over thirty different teams have competed in the NRL since it began in 2004. For the 2021–22 season, there were 12 teams playing in a hub format, down from 15 teams from the previous year, due to COVID-19. The Cambridge Turbos have won the most NRL titles. The Lower Mainland Thunder in British Columbia and the Ottawa Ice in Ontario are the only now-defunct NRL teams in league history to have won a Canadian Ringette Championship along with the Jeanne Sauvé Memorial Cup, and the league's national championship gold medal. The LMRL Thunder won in 2011–12, and the Ottawa Ice won the league title in 2013–14. Both the LMRL Thunder and the Ottawa Ice won the NRL championship once in their team's history while their clubs were active.

For the 2005–06 season, the league had 19 teams competing in four divisions.{{cite web |url=http://nationalringetteleague.ca/news.cfm?st=1|title=National Ringette League rings in new season|website=nationalringetteleague.ca|year=2005 |access-date=February 4, 2023|publisher=Ringette Canada|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051221212837/http://nationalringetteleague.ca/news.cfm?st=1 |archive-date=December 21, 2005|url-status=dead}} The Eastern Conference in 2005–06 included the Ontario and Québec divisions. Ontario teams included the Cambridge Turbos, Gloucester Devils, Ottawa Ice, Richmond Hill Lightning and Waterloo Wildfire. The Ottawa Ice was an expansion team. The Québec division included the BLL Nordiques (who later became the Bourassa Royal) the Cyclones de Québec, the Montreal Mission, and Rive–Sud Revolution, all returning from the previous season. Teams in the Central Division included the APFG Sixers, BoniVital Angels, Eastman Flames, Hix with Stix, and Manitoba Moose. The Western Division included the returning league champion, the Edmonton WAM!, the Calgary RATH, BC Reign, the Saskatoon Wild, and the previous year's wild card team, the Edmonton Edge. With nineteen teams competing, it was this NRL season which recorded the highest number of teams competing in the NRL in a single season in league history. The 2005–06 NRL season also marked the inaugural season of the NRL Championship.File:National Ringette League 01.jpg player taking a free pass]]

{{main|National Ringette League playoffs}}

The NRL Championship, which crowns the team champion of the league, is played annually by the eight best teams in the league at the Canadian Ringette Championships in the National Ringette League division.

In 2010–11, the introduction of a new NRL Championship Tournament replaced the Championship qualifying rounds. The tournament took place in just one city. The format was intended to allow the league to create a media event and to hold attention. The top ten teams in the regular season of the league participated in the tournament.

Starting in 2011–12, eight teams play a full round robin to determine the champion, also called the Elite Eight.

The final competition for the National Ringette League is held annually at the Canadian Ringette Championships. The Jeanne Sauvé Memorial Cup{{cite web|url=http://www.ringette.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/CRC-Trophies.pdf|title=Canadian Ringette Championships Trophies {{!}} Trophées du Championnat canadien de ringuette|website=ringette.ca|date=2015|access-date=October 2, 2022|publisher=Ringette Canada|language=en}} is the championship trophy awarded annually to the winning team in the National Ringette League. Initially coined the "Jeanne Sauvé Cup", and initiated in December 1984, it was first presented at the 1985 Canadian Ringette Championships in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Québec.

At the end of March, during the week break before the National Ringette League Championships, the League names its annuals Award Nominees. Award winners are announced at the closing banquet of the Canadian Ringette Championships. The awards program recognizes the performance of NRL athletes during regular season play with trophies for:

• Rookie of the Year
• Most Valuable Player
• Top Forward
• Top Centre
• Top Defence
• Top Goalkeeper
• Coaching Staff of the Year
• NRL Top Scorer
