2010–11 National League 1
The 2010–11 National League 1 is the second season of the third division of the English domestic rugby union competitions since the professionalised format of the second division was introduced. Coventry find themselves playing in this league following their relegation from the 2009-10 RFU Championship while teams coming up include Macclesfield, Barking and Rosslyn Park.
Despite losing three out of their first four games, London Scottish would go on to win the league title by winning twenty-six games on the trot and finishing ahead of newly promoted Barking. They actually trailed Barking for most of the season, with a rearranged Christmas fixture meaning that they would face the Goresbrook-based side in the final game. London Scottish won this game 17 - 13 to become the champions and seal promotion to the 2011–12 RFU Championship. At the other end of the table relegated teams included Launceston, Otley and Redruth. Launceston and Redruth would drop to the 2011–12 National League 2 South, with at least the consolation of having the Cornish derby for next season, while Otley dropped to the 2011–12 National League 2 North.
