The 2015–16 Dorset & Wilts 2 North consisted of twelve teams; most of them based in the northern part of Wiltshire but also three teams based just across the county border in Somerset. The season started on 12 September 2015 and was due to end on 23 April 2016.
At the end of the 1999–2000 season Berks/Wilts/Dorset 2 was restructured following the departure of Berkshire clubs to join the Bucks & Oxon leagues. It was now split into two tier 9 regional leagues – Dorset & Wilts 2 North and Dorset & Wilts 2 South. Promotion from Dorset & Wilts 2 North was now to Dorset & Wilts 2 and there was no relegation due to the cancellation of Berks/Wilts/Dorset 3.
Ahead of the 2004–05 season, local league restructuring meant that promotion from Dorset & Wilts 2 North was now to Dorset & Wilts 1 North (formerly Dorset & Wilts 1) and relegation to the newly introduced Dorset & Wilts 3 North (last known as Berks/Dorset/Wilts 3). It remained a tier 9 league.
Despite widespread restructuring by the RFU at the end of the 2008–09 season, Dorset & Wilts 2 North remained a tier 9 league, with promotion continuing to Dorset & Wilts 1 North and relegation to Dorset & Wilts 3 North.
↑ Restructuring of the south-west leagues from 11 to 13 teams for the following season, meant that four teams were promoted, including Bradford-on-Avon and Puddleton.
↑ The restructuring of Berks/Dorset/Wilts 3 East and Berks/Dorset/Wilts 3 West into a single season called Berks/Dorsets/Wilts 3, meant that there was no relegation.
↑ Prior to the 1992–93 season Berks/Dorset/Wilts 3 was divided into two regional divisions – Berks/Dorset/Wilts 3 East and Berks/Dorset/Wilts 3 West.
↑ Restructuring of the Berks, Dorset & Wilts leagues, including a reduction of teams in each division, meant that more teams were relegated than usual.
↑ There would be no relegation due to the cancellation of Berks/Dorset/Wilts 3 at the end of the season.
