The 2001 AF2 season was the second season of the AF2. It was preceded by 2000 and succeeded by 2002. The league champions were the Quad City Steamwheelers, who defended their title with a victory over the Richmond Speed in ArenaCup II. This is the first time that both conferences contained two divisions each, like the original AFL.
