TheIAAF Grand Prix II was an annual series of one-daytrack and field competitions organized by theInternational Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). It was introduced in 1994 as an expansion of theIAAF Grand Prix series,^[1] adding a second category of competitions in order to support a greater number of meetings with the financial benefit of being an official Grand Prix meeting. Prior to its creation, meetings not on the Grand Prix list were included asIAAF Permit Meetings. Further additions to the Grand Prix II level required a competition to have held permit status for two years.^[2] Over the competition's history, at least 24 different meetings were part of the circuit.

Athletes earned points at the meetings, dependent upon their finishing position, and the overall points leaders from the wider circuit gained entry to the annualIAAF Grand Prix Final in 1994 to 2002, then theIAAF World Athletics Final from 2003 to 2005.

The role of the Grand Prix II category changed over the years, starting as the second tier of the IAAF Grand Prix before changing to the third tier with the introduction of theIAAF Golden League in 1998. The creation of theIAAF World Outdoor Meetings tour in 2003 reorganised the IAAF's one-day circuit into four tiers, with theIAAF Super Grand Prix becoming the second most prestigious grouping and the IAAF Grand Prix II as the fourth and lowest level. The category was made defunct in 2006, when theIAAF World Athletics Tour was created.

The IAAF Grand Prix II calendar was subject to change during its lifetime, with the number of meetings, the constituent meetings, and the duration of the series all regularly changing from year to year.
