The Formula Renault Northern European Cup—previously known as Formula Renault 2.0 NEC—was a Formula Renault 2.0 racing series originally centered in Northern Europe, covering countries such as Germany, Netherlands, and Belgium. Over time, its reach extended throughout Europe. This championship was created in 2006 through the unification of the Formula Renault 2.0 Germany (established in 1991) and Formula Renault 2.0 Netherlands (started in 2003) competitions. Although plans were made to rename it FormulaNEC, the series discontinued before the 2019 season due to a reduction in driver participation.
The event was managed by promoter MdH Consultants AG, who launched a Winter Cup in 2007 as an off-season contest hosted at Hockenheim and Oschersleben. The victor of this Winter Cup gained complimentary entry into the next NEC season.
Participants competed using Tatuus chassis equipped with 2.0 L Renault Clio power units, aligning with the specifications used across other Formula Renault 2.0 championships, and utilized Michelin tyres.
Points were distributed starting at 30 for the race winner, decreasing incrementally down to 1 point for the twentieth-place finisher, with only classified drivers eligible to score.
In 2010, an additional category named the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup FR2000 was introduced.
