    An \((m,u,k,\lambda)\) relative difference set in a group \(G\) relative to a subgroup \(U\) of order \(u\) and index \(m\) is a \(k\)-element subset \(R\) of \(G\) such that every element of \(g\in G\backslash U\) has exactly \(\lambda \) representations \(g=r_{1}r_{2}^{-1}\) with \(r_{1}\), \(r_{2}\in R\) and no identity element of \(U\) has such a representation. If \(k=u\lambda \), then the relative difference set is called semiregular and its parameters are \((u\lambda ,u, u\lambda ,\lambda)\). In this paper a classification of semiregular relative difference sets in non-abelian 2-groups containing a cyclic subgroup of index 2 is given, by considering six cases. The process of checking these cases involves a computer search.
