English Rugby Union teams

|
The English Rugby Union league is topped by the Premiership.
Below this is National 1, National 2 then National 3, South and North. Below National 3, it is split geographically into 4: London and South East, Midlands, South West and North.
The London and South East and South West promotion candidates go into National 3 South, and the Midlands and North promotion candidates go into National 3 North. Each of the geographical regions has either 2 or 4 divisions (e.g. London 1, London 2 South/North, London 3 South-East/North-East/South-West/North-West, London 4 South-East..etc) which may again be geographically separated.
Below these regional leagues come the county leagues (e.g. Sussex, Kent, Hampshire). The county leagues are the lowest levels in the English game.
