Counties 3 Surrey

Counties 3 Surrey is a rugby union competition covering the English county of Surrey and parts of south-west London. It sits at the ninth tier of the English rugby union system. The teams play home and away matches from September through to April. Promoted teams move up to Counties 2 Surrey and relegated teams move down to Counties 4 Surrey.

Each year some of the clubs in this division also take part in the RFU Junior Vase - a level 9-11 national competition.

Leaving the league were Worth Old Boys and Old Hamptonians, promoted to Counties 2 Surrey whilst London Media (10th) and Warlingham (11th) were relegated to Counties 4 Surrey. Economicals (9th) elected to be re-allocated to Counties 5 Surrey ahead of the new season.

Leaving the league were Bec Old Boys and Met Police, promoted to Counties 2 Surrey whilst Old Emanuel were relegated to Counties 4 Surrey. In their place came Law Society and Warlingham, relegated from Counties 2 Surrey whilst Streatham-Croydon and Old Hamptonians were promoted from Counties 4 Surrey.

Ordinarily having finished 9th London Media would have been relegated too but owing to Old Freemans suffering a double relegation from Counties 2 Surrey to Counties 4 Surrey they earned a reprieve. Consequently the league will run with eleven sides.

Departing the league were Old Caterhamians and Old Wimbledonians, promoted to Counties 2 Surrey whilst Cranleigh were relegated to Counties 4 Surrey. Also departing were Old Wellingtonians (5th in 2022–23) who withdrew from league competition.

In their place came Bec Old Boys and Old Georgians, promoted from Counties 4 Surrey whilst Effingham & Leatherhead and London Exiles joined having been relegated from Counties 2 Surrey. Old Emanuel re-joined the league structure after a sabbatical having most recently competed in London 3 South West in season 2021-22. With four leaving and five joining the league was made up of 10 sides having had 9 in its inaugural year.

This was the first season following the RFU Adult Competition Review. The league was substantially similar to Surrey 2 but while that league had been at level 10 of the English rugby pyramid the new league was at level 9.
