Rugby union competition in England
The 1993–94 National Division 5 South was the seventh full season of rugby union within the fifth tier of the English league system, currently the regional divisions Regional 1 South East and Regional 1 South West, and the first using the name National Division 5 South, with its counterpart being National Division 5 North. The introduction of a new National Division 4 meant that the old National Division 4 North and South was merged and two new regional leagues introduced at tier 5.
Structure
Each team played home and away matches against each of the other teams, playing a total of twenty-two matches each. The champions are promoted to National Division 4 while the bottom two teams are relegated to either London & South East Division 1 or South West Division 1 depending on their locality.
