The Formula Renault Northern European Cup—previously known as Formula Renault 2.0 NEC—was a Formula Renault 2.0 competition that originally concentrated on Northern European countries such as Germany, Netherlands, and Belgium before broadening its reach throughout Europe. Launched in 2006, this series was formed by merging the earlier championships Formula Renault 2.0 Germany (established in 1991) and Formula Renault 2.0 Netherlands (started in 2003). Although there were plans to rename it as FormulaNEC, these were scrapped when the championship ceased operations prior to 2019 due to a drop in driver participation.

Managed by promoter MdH Consultants AG, the championship introduced a Winter Cup in 2007—an off-season competition held at Hockenheim and Oschersleben circuits—with the victor awarded complimentary entry into the subsequent NEC season.

The vehicles utilized Tatuus chassis paired with 2.0 L Renault Clio power units, aligning with the specifications of other Formula Renault 2.0 series, and ran on Michelin tyres.

Points were distributed starting at 30 for the race winner down to 1 point for the twentieth classified driver.

In 2010, an additional category named the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup FR2000 was introduced.
