Gloucester 2 North and Gloucester 2 South are English rugby union leagues which sits at the tenth level of league rugby union in England for teams primarily based in Gloucestershire as well as some teams from Bristol. Promoted clubs move into Gloucester 1 and since the discontinuation of Gloucester 3 at the end of the 2017–18 season there is currently no relegation. Up until 2017-18 Gloucester 2 was a single division but has since been split into two regional divisions.

Teams 2021-22

[edit]

Ahead of the new season Stroud RFC, promoted to South West 1 West as champions of Western Counties North in 2019–20, withdrew from SW1W and instead joined at the bottom of the regional RFU pyramid in Gloucester 2.[1]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Ashley Down Old Boys went to playoffs on league technicality.
  2. ^ Saintbridge Former Pupils would be renamed as Old Centralians.[2]
  3. ^ Due to the reorganisation of the majority of South West leagues from 11 to 13 teams, 3rd and 4th place Old Richians were Old Cryptians were also promoted.
  4. ^ The restructuring of Gloucester 2 from 11 to 13 teams meant that there was no relegation.
  5. ^ The cancellation of National League 5 South at the end of the season, meant that nine teams were promoted into Gloucester 1 including Cainscross, Cheltenham Civil Service, Bristol Telephone Area, Bishopston, Old Bristolians, Painswick and Ashley Down Old Boys.
  6. ^ Old Colstonians, Gloucester All Blues, Cotham Park, Gloucester Civil Service and Minchinhampton would be the relegated teams this year. The reason for so many relegations was partly due to Gloucester 2 reducing in size from 12 to 10 teams but also due to the introduction of Gloucester 3 South for the 2000-01 season leading to a restructuring of the Gloucestershire regional divisions.
  7. ^ The dissolution of Gloucester 3 at the end of the 2017-18 season and the splitting of Gloucester 2 into north and south regions for the 2018-19 season meant there were no relegation.
  8. ^ Ashley Down Old Boys title wins includes the Gloucester 2 South title.
  9. ^ One of Brockworth's title wins includes the Gloucester 2 North title.
  10. ^ One of St. Brendan's Old Boys title wins includes the Gloucester 2 South title.
  11. ^ One of Tewkesbury's wins includes the Gloucester 2 North title.
  12. ^ Hucclecote Old Boys are currently known as Hucclecote RFC.
