I have an SQL function which returns a list of Teams.

I want to join an additional list to that list with a union, but only if it returns more than one rows.

Something like:

CREATE FUNCTION Teams()
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
  SELECT * FROM TABLE1
  UNION 
  if @@rowcount>1
  SELECT * FROM TABLE2
  end if
 )
