Exhibit 99
                                                              PR NEWSWIRE

                 NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES
           THE DISTRIBUTION FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2009

Red Bank, N.J.  July 29, 2009    The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty
Trust (NYSE-NRT) announced today a quarterly distribution of 58 cents per
unit for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, payable on August 26, 2009 to
holders of record on August 14, 2009.  Natural gas sold during the second
calendar quarter of 2009 is the primary source of the royalty income that
will be distributed.  John R. Van Kirk, Managing Director, reported that this
year's quarterly distribution of 58 cents was 34.8% lower than the
distribution of 89 cents for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.  The major
reasons for the decline in the distribution were decreases in both gas prices
and average exchange rates compared to the prior year's equivalent quarter.
Gas sales in the western portion of the Oldenburg concession were virtually
unchanged.  Further details will be available in the earnings press release
scheduled for release on or about August 12, 2009.

Total distributions of $2.63 per unit for the first nine months of fiscal
2009 were exactly the same as the distributions for the same period last
year.  Including the August distribution, during the last twelve months the
Trust has distributed $3.66 per unit.  The cumulative distribution for the
preceding twelve months, ending with the distribution for August 2008, was
$3.27.  The Trust makes quarterly distributions to unit owners during the
months of February, May, August and November.
