Notes
- ↑ Old Colstonians, Gloucester All Blues, Cotham Park, Gloucester Civil Service and Minchinhampton would be the relegated teams this year. The reason for so many relegations was partly due to Gloucester 2 reducing in size from 12 to 10 teams but also due to the introduction of Gloucester 3 South for the 2000-01 season leading to a restructuring of the Gloucestershire regional divisions..
- ↑ The dissolution of Gloucester 3 at the end of the 2017-18 season and the splitting of Gloucester 2 into north and south regions for the 2018-19 season meant there were be no relegation.
