Counties 2 Hampshire (formerly Hampshire Premier) is an English level 8 Rugby Union league for teams based in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Up until the 2017–18 season it was known as Hampshire 1 but was changed to Hampshire Premier due to restructuring of the Hampshire leagues, which would see the re-introduction of a third division as well as 2nd and 3rd XV sides joining for the first time. Following the RFU's Adult Competition Review, from season 2022-23 it adopted its current name Counties 2 Hampshire.
Each year some of the clubs in this division also take part in the RFU Junior Vase - a level 9-12 national competition.
Promoted teams move up to Counties 1 Hampshire. Relegated teams drop down to Counties 3 Hampshire.
The points system is as follows.
- 4 points awarded for a win.
- 2 points awarded for a draw.
- 0 points awarded for a loss.
- 1 "bonus" (+) point awarded for scoring 4 tries (or more).
- 1 "bonus" (+) point awarded for losing by 7 points (or fewer).
No team can get more than 5 points in a match. Points awarded are the same regardless of outcome at home or away. The new point system has been in effect since 2010–11 season.

Departing were Guernsey Vikings, Sandown & Shanklin and Basingstoke, all promoted to Counties 1 Hampshire. Tottonians II were relegated to Counties 3 Hampshire.

Notes
- Would later merge with Fareham RFC to form Gosport & Fareham RFC.
- 3rd place Farnborough also promoted.
- As the league was to increase from 9 to 10 teams for the following season, there was no relegation.
- There was no relegation as East Dorset (who would finish 7th) dropped out of the Hampshire league at the end of the season and joined Dorset & Wilts 3 South.
- There was originally 11 teams in the league but Solent University had to withdraw from the league due to difficulties fielding a regular match squad.
- Only one team was relegated at the end of the season as Hampshire 2 would go from 10 to 9 teams the following seasons.
- The restructuring of the Hampshire leagues for the following season and introduction of 2nd XV teams meant that there were more relegated teams than usual.
- Bognor were promoted as Old Freemens did not manage to raise a team for the 2015-16 play-off game.
