Eastern Counties 4 is an English level 12 Rugby Union league that is currently divided into two regional divisions - north and south - with teams from Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex taking part. Promoted teams move up to the relevant division in East Counties 3 with no relegation as this is the lowest division in the Eastern Counties league. The league was originally abolished in 1999-00 due to East Counties restructuring and teams moved up to higher divisions only to be reinstated in 2014-15 due to further league restructuring that allowed more 2nd and 3rd teams to take part.
