Sussex Asahi Division 4 East (formerly Sussex Asahi 2 East) is an English level 12 Rugby Union League. It is run by the Sussex Rugby Football Union and contains teams predominantly from east Sussex and is the counterpart to Sussex Late Red Division 4 West which is for teams in the west of the county. Teams play home and away matches from September to April. Promoted teams move up to Sussex Oranjeboom Division 3 while there is no relegation. Sussex Aashi 2 East was introduced in 2010-11 and is the equivalent to former division Sussex 3 which had its last season in 2003-04. Due to a reorganization of the Sussex leagues, the division changed to its current name of Sussex Ashahi Division 4 East in time for the 2016-17 season.
