It is organised by the London and South East Division Rugby Football Union and is the top tier competition for clubs in Hertfordshire and parts of north-west London that traditionally was encompassed by the historic county of Middlesex.

Notes
- No relegation as division would increase from 14 to 15 teams the next season.
- Relegated teams included Epping Upper Clapton, Hitchin, Old Haberdashers, H.A.C., Haringey Rhinos, U.C.S. Old Boys and CS Rugby 1863. The reason for so many relegated teams was due to league restructuring for the following season meaning that the division would decrease from 15 to 10 teams.
- No relegation due to the lower divisions in the Herts/Middlesex league being restructured for the following season.
- League reduced from 12 to 10 teams after UCS Old Boys drop out.
