Notes
- Trinity were until the 2018-19 season known as Old Mid-Whitgiftian.
- Old Guildfordians would merge with Guildford & Godalming in 2003 to form Guildford Rugby Club.
- Old Surbitonians would be renamed as Cobham RFC in 1989.[1]
- John Fisher Old Boys would merge with Purley RFC in 1997 to form Purley John Fisher RFC.[2]
- John Fisher Old Boys would drop to Surrey 2B.
- Relegated Old Surbitonians would rename as Cobham RFC for the following season, playing in Surrey 2.
- No relegation as Surrey 1 due to increase from 11 to 13 seasons for the following season.
- 3rd place Weybridge Vandals also promoted.
- Although there was no relegation, John Fisher Old Boys would drop out of the Surrey leagues to merge with Purley RFC to form Purley John Fisher RFC, playing in London 3 South West.
- No relegation due to league restructuring for the following season as Surrey 4 abolished and extra teams added to Surrey 1 (and other divisions) as a result.
- Streatham-Croydon, Old Cranleighans, Old Rutlishians, Old Haileyburians, Old Freemens and Old Whitgiftian were the relegated teams this season. The reason for the many relegations was the reinstatement of Surrey 4 for the 2005-06 season, meaning that teams dropped into Surrey 2 to replace teams that had in turn dropped to Surrey 3 and in turn to the new Surrey 4.
- Bognor were promoted as Old Freemens did not manage to raise a team for the 2015-16 play-off game.
- Old Guildfordians are currently known as Guildford Rugby Club.
- one of Reeds Weybridge titles includes when club was known as Old Reedonians.
