Surrey 5

Surrey 5 was a level 12 English Rugby Union League. It was made up of teams predominantly from Surrey and south-west London. Promoted teams moved up to Surrey 4 and as this was the lowest level controlled by the RFU, there was no relegation. At the end of the 1991-1992 season, Surrey 5 was cancelled after just three seasons, with all teams automatically going up to Surrey 4 or dropping out of the league.

Notes
  1. Despite winning the title, champions Kew Occasionals would drop out of the Surrey leagues at the end of the season.
  2. Restructuring of the Surrey leagues due to the cancellation of Surrey 5, meant that nine clubs would be promoted to Surrey 4 at the end of the season, including University of Surrey, Haslemere, Lightwater, Oxted, Old Epsomians, Egham, Racal-Decca and Economicals. Champions Kew Occasionals would drop out of the Surrey leagues.
