Surrey 1 is a level 9 English Rugby Union League. It is made up of teams predominantly from Surrey and south-west London. Teams play home and away matches from September through to April.

Surrey 1 honours

Surrey 1 (1987–1993)

The original Surrey 1 was tier 8 league with promotion up to London 3 South West and relegation down to Surrey 2.

Surrey 1 (1993–1996)

The creation of National 5 South meant that Surrey 1 dropped from a tier 8 league to a tier 9 league for the years that National 5 South was active. Promotion and relegation continued to London 3 South West and Surrey 2 respectively.

Surrey 1 (1996–2000)

The cancellation of National 5 South at the end of the 1995–96 season meant that Surrey 1 reverted to being a tier 8 league. Promotion and relegation continued to London 3 South West and Surrey 2 respectively.

Surrey 1 (2000–2009)

The introduction of London 4 South West ahead of the 2000–01 season meant Surrey 1 dropped to become a tier 9 league with promotion to this new division. Relegation continued to Surrey 2.

Surrey 1 (2009–present)

Surrey 1 remained a tier 9 league despite national restructuring by the RFU. Promotion was to London 3 South West (formerly London 4 South West) and relegation to Surrey 2.

Promotion play-offs

Since the 2000–01 season there has been a play-off between the runners-up of Hampshire Premier and Surrey 1 for the third and final promotion place to London 3 South West. The team with the superior league record has home advantage in the tie. At the end of the 2019–20 season the Surrey 1 teams have been the most successful with twelve wins to the Hampshire Premier teams seven; and the home team has won promotion on eleven occasions compared to the away teams eight.

Notes

1. Trinity were until the 2018-19 season known as Old Mid-Whitgiftian.
2. Old Guildfordians would merge with Guildford & Godalming in 2003 to form Guildford Rugby Club.
3. Old Surbitonians would be renamed as Cobham RFC in 1989.
4. John Fisher Old Boys would merge with Purley RFC in 1997 to form Purley John Fisher RFC.
5. John Fisher Old Boys would drop to Surrey 2B.
6. Relegated Old Surbitonians would rename as Cobham RFC for the following season, playing in Surrey 2.
7. No relegation as Surrey 1 due to increase from 11 to 13 seasons for the following season.
8. 3rd place Weybridge Vandals also promoted.
9. Although there was no relegation, John Fisher Old Boys would drop out of the Surrey leagues to merge with Purley RFC to form Purley John Fisher RFC, playing in London 3 South West.
10. No relegation due to league restructuring for the following season as Surrey 4 abolished and extra teams added to Surrey 1 (and other divisions) as a result.
11. Streatham-Croydon, Old Cranleighans, Old Rutlishians, Old Haileyburians, Old Freemens and Old Whitgiftian were the relegated teams this season. The reason for the many relegations was the reinstatement of Surrey 4 for the 2005-06 season, meaning that teams dropped into Surrey 2 to replace teams that had in turn dropped to Surrey 3 and in turn to the new Surrey 4.
12. Bognor were promoted as Old Freemens did not manage to raise a team for the 2015-16 play-off game.
13. Old Guildfordians are currently known as Guildford Rugby Club.
14. one of Reeds Weybridge titles includes when club was known as Old Reedonians.
