Notes
- Ashley Down Old Boys went to playoffs on league technicality.
- Saintbridge Former Pupils would be renamed as Old Centralians.[1]
- Due to the reorganisation of the majority of South West leagues from 11 to 13 teams, 3rd and 4th place Old Richians were Old Cryptians were also promoted.
- The restructuring of Gloucester 2 from 11 to 13 teams meant that there was no relegation.
- The cancellation of National League 5 South at the end of the season, meant that nine teams were promoted into Gloucester 1 including Cainscross, Cheltenham Civil Service, Bristol Telephone Area, Bishopston, Old Bristolians, Painswick and Ashley Down Old Boys.
- Old Colstonians, Gloucester All Blues, Cotham Park, Gloucester Civil Service and Minchinhampton would be the relegated teams this year. The reason for so many relegations was partly due to Gloucester 2 reducing in size from 12 to 10 teams but also due to the introduction of Gloucester 3 South for the 2000-01 season leading to a restructuring of the Gloucestershire regional divisions.
- The dissolution of Gloucester 3 at the end of the 2017-18 season and the splitting of Gloucester 2 into north and south regions for the 2018-19 season meant there were be no relegation.
- Ashley Down Old Boys title wins includes the Gloucester 2 South title.
- One of Brockworth's title wins includes the Gloucester 2 North title.
- One of St. Brendan's Old Boys title wins includes the Gloucester 2 South title.
- One of Tewkesbury's wins includes the Gloucester 2 North title.
- Hucclecote Old Boys are currently known as Hucclecote RFC.
