South West 1 East is a regional Rugby Union league in south west England. It is the second highest regional league in the area and promoted sides usually enter R.F.U.'s National League 3 South West with the league champions being promoted automatically while the league runner up plays a playoff against the runner up from South West 1 West. Relegated teams tend to drop to either Southern Counties North or Southern Counties South depending on geographical position.
2015–16
The 2015–16 South West 1 East consists of fourteen teams; four from Berkshire, three from Oxfordshire, three from Wiltshire and one each from Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Dorset and Northamptonshire. The season starts on 5 September 2015 and is due to end on 23 April 2016.
Participating teams and location
Ten of the fourteen teams participated in last season's competition. The 2014–15 champions Chippenham were promoted to National League 3 South West while Bletchley and Buckingham were relegated to Southern Counties North and and Devizes to Southern Counties South.
