Regional 2 South West

Regional 2 South West, (formerly known as South West 1 West) is an English, level six, rugby union league for clubs based in the south-west of England; i.e. Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset. It is one of twelve leagues at this level in England. When league rugby started in 1986 it was known as South West 2, but in 1996 the division was split into two leagues — South West 1 West and South West 1 East. South West 1 West was renamed Regional 2 South West prior to the 2022–23 season. The champions are promoted to Regional 1 South West (formerly South West Premier) and the bottom two sides are relegated, depending on location, to either Counties 1 Western West, Counties 1 Western North or Counties 1 Southern South.

South West 2 (1987–1993)

Originally South West 1 West and South West 1 East were combined in a single division called South West 2. It was a tier 6 league with promotion to South West 1 and relegation to either Western Counties^[d] or Southern Counties^[e].

South West 2

The top six teams from South West 1 and the top six from London 1 were combined to create National 5 South, meaning that South West 2 dropped one level to tier 7. Promotion continued to South West 1 and relegation to either Western Counties^[g] or Southern Counties^[h].

South West 2 West (1996–2009)

League restructuring by the RFU for the 1996–97 season saw South West 2 split into two regional divisions known as South West 2 West and South West 2 East, and the cancellation of National 5 South meant that both divisions became tier 6 leagues. Promotion continued to South West 1, while relegation was now to either Western Counties North or Western Counties West^[j].

South West 1 West (2009–2022)

League restructuring by the RFU meant that South West 2 West and South East 2 East were renamed as South West 1 West and South West 1 East, with both leagues remaining at tier 6. Promotion was to National League 3 South West^[k], while relegation continued to either Western Counties North or Western Counties West.
