A United Soccer League Second Division, (; abreviação oficial: USL-2), foi uma liga de futebol profissional nos Estados Unidos, sendo considerado entre 1995 e 2010 a terceira divisão profissional na Pirâmide do Futebol dos Estados Unidos, em baixo do Major League Soccer (primeira divisão) e da USL First Division (segunda divisão). A liga foi extinta para a criação da United Soccer League.
História
A liga foi fundada sob o nome de United States International Soccer League, após a mudança do nome da United States Interregional Soccer League (USISL). Seu primeiro compeão foi o Long Island Rough Riders, que derrotou o Minnesota Thunder na final.
Entre 1995 e 2010 a liga recebeu vários nomes, USISL D-3 Pro League, USL D3 Pro League, USL Pro Select League, USL Pro Soccer League e USL Second Division.
Em 2010 o surgimento da nova North American Soccer League, a USL First Division ficaria com apenas três times. Com isso a United States Soccer Federation (USSF) sancionou que nenhuma das duas ligas iria ser disputada em 2010 e ordenou que as duas entrassem em acordo. No dia 10 de janeiro de 2010, a USSF anunciou a extinção da USL-1 para a criação da USSF D2 Pro League.
No dia 8 de setembro de 2010 foi anunciada a criação da USL Pro, que seria a junção da USL First Division com a USL Second Division, iniciando em 2011.
