what is the meaning of "  the second year in a row " ?

Answer

It is for two years following each other. For example I can say: 'In 2012 Ajax was champion of the Eredivisie football for the second year in a row'. It means Ajax was champion in 2011 and also in 2012. If they win this season, 2013, it would be for three years in a row.
