Number of league titles

Notes

  1. Somerset 1 runners up, Bristol Harlequins were promoted instead of champions, Bristol Barbarians.
  2. Since 1996 Western Counties has been split into two regional divisions; Western Counties North and Western Counties West.
  3. Gloucestershire 1 was shortened to Gloucester 1 from the 1991–92 season onward.
  4. Avon & Somerset Constabulary withdrew from league.
  5. 3rd place Wiveliscombe also promoted. The reason for so many promotions was due to the majority of south-west league increasing from 11 to 13 teams for the following season.
  6. The cancellation of National League 5 South at the end of the 1995–96 would lead to widespread restructuring of the leagues. As a result all 13 clubs in Gloucestershire/Somerset would be promoted; St. Mary's Old Boys, Cleve, Hornets, Oldfield Old Boys, Thornbury, Avonmouth Old Boys, North Bristol, Whitehall, Bristol Harlequins, Cirencester and Old Redcliffians would go up into Western Counties North; Wellington would go up into Western Counties West; Stow-on-the Wold would go up into Southern Counties North.
  7. Western Counties was split into Western Counties North and Western Counties West as part of RFU restructuring at the end of the 1995–96 season.
  8. Despite finishing as champions, the cancellation of Gloucestershire/Somerset meant that Old Centralians were instead transferred into the new look Gloucester Premier.
  9. The cancellation of Gloucestershire/Somerset and creation meant that almost all teams were transferred into new leagues; Old Centralians, Bream, Chipping Sodbury, Avonmouth Old Boys, Bristol Saracens, Brockworth and Longlevens went into Gloucester Premier, while Yatton, Tor, Old Culverhaysians, Midsomer Norton, Walcot, Avon, Combe Down and Gordano went into Somerset Premier.
  10. The result of the 2003-04 playoff between Nailsea & Backwell and Chosen Hill Former Pupils is unknown due to all the south-west promotion playoff games from this season missing from the RFU website. However, as Nailsea & Backwell were in the higher division the next season (and Chosen Hill Former Pupils were not) it is assumed they won the playoff game. Nailsea & Backwell would also have hosted the game as they had a better points record in their league than Chosen Hill Former Pupils did in theirs.
  11. One of Keynsham's titles was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
  12. Avonmouth Old Boys title was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
  13. Barton Hill's title was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
  14. Combe Down's title was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
  15. Coney Hill's title was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
  16. Dings Crusaders title was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
  17. Gloucester Old Boys title was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
  18. Old Centralians title was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
  19. Old Culverhaysians title was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
  20. Old Patesians title was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
  21. Spartans title was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
  22. St. Bernadette's Old Boys title was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
  23. St. Mary's Old Boys title was when league was known as Gloucestershire/Somerset.
