The 2024–25 National League 1 is the 37th season of the third tier of the English domestic rugby union competitions .
Darlington Mowden Park were the first side to be relegated on 15 March, losing at home to Bishop's Stortford to go down with four games to go, ending a stay of eleven consecutive years at tier 3, in what was a terrible season for Mowden Park both on and off the pitch.
The league consists of fourteen teams, with all the teams playing each other on a home and away basis, to make a total of twenty-six matches each. There is one promotion place, with the champions promoted to the RFU Championship , and typically there are three relegation places to either, National League 2 East , National League 2 North or National League 2 West , depending on the geographical location of the team.[ 1]
Earlier in the season it had been indicated that the RFU Championship was due to increase from 12 to 14 teams for 2025–26. This was finally confirmed by the RFU with most of the season completed, and the subsequent league restructuring meant that one team per league level would have a reprieve from relegation meaning that only two teams instead of the normal three would be relegated from National League 1 at the end of 2024–25.[ 2]
