Hampshire 2
Hampshire 2 is an English level 11 rugby union league for teams based in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. It was originally known as Hampshire 3 until the 2008-09 season when it was discontinued, but the division was reinstated as Hampshire 2 following restructuring of the Hampshire leagues for the 2018-19 season, which would once again see Hampshire rugby have three divisions as well as including second XV sides for the first time.
