This was the first season following the Rugby Football Union (RFU) Adult Competition Review. The league had some similarities with North 1 East as seven clubs returned, but was smaller (14 teams reduced to 12) and the Durham RFU and Northumberland RFU clubs were allocated to Regional 2 North. The league was supplemented by four of the top five sides from Yorkshire 1 with the last place taken by Dronfield level transferred from Midlands 1 East.
