Counties 1 Yorkshire

Counties 1 Yorkshire is an English rugby union division, the seventh tier of the domestic competition, and the top level for local rugby union in parts of Yorkshire. The champions are automatically promoted to Regional 2 North East (formerly North 1 East), a division with a wider geographical area that also encompasses northeast England. The runners-up participate in a playoff against the 2nd place team from the equivalent regional league, Counties 1 Durham & Northumberland, for promotion to Regional 2 North East. The bottom two clubs are relegated to Counties 2 Yorkshire.

Each season a team from Counties 1 Yorkshire is picked to take part in the RFU Intermediate Cup - a national competition for clubs at level 7.

Departing were North Ribblesdale (champions) and Pocklington (runners-up) promoted to Regional 2 North West and Regional 2 North East respectively. Bridlington were relegated to Counties 2 Yorkshire.

Departing were Bradford Salem and Wetherby, both promoted to Regional 2 NE whilst Bradford & Bingley were relegated to Counties 2 Yorkshire.

Departing were Goole, promoted to Regional 2 NE. Also leaving were Huddersfield Laund Hill (10th), Dinnington (11th) and Roundhegians (12th) all relegated to Counties 2 Yorkshire.

This was the first season following the RFU Adult Competition Review. The league was substantially similar to Yorkshire 1 with the 9 lowest ranked teams returning and supplemented by top 3 from Yorkshire 2

Leaving were champions Middlesbrough 'promoted' to Regional 2 North whilst 2nd - 5th (Pontefract, Old Crossleyans, Bridlington & Selby) were 'promoted' to Regional 2 North East). With five departing but only three arriving the league was reduced from 14 teams to 12.

The teams competing in 2021-22 achieved their places in the league based on performances in 2019-20, the 'previous season' column in the table below refers to that season not 2020-21.
