The league was substantially similar to Surrey 1 but while that league had been at level 9 of the English rugby pyramid the new league was at level 8 with London 3 South West which had been the league Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex clubs were promoted to out of their level 9 county leagues disappearing.

Surrey 2 honours
Surrey 2A / 2B (1987–1989) The original Surrey 2 was tier 9 league, split into two groups (Surrey 2A, Surrey 2B), with promotion up to Surrey 1 and relegation down to Surrey 3. Surrey 2 (1989–1993) Surrey 2A and 2B were merged into a single division called Surrey 2. It remained a tier 9 league, with promotion to Surrey 1 and relegation to Surrey 3. Surrey 2 (1993–1996) The creation of National 5 South meant that Surrey 2 dropped from a tier 9 league to a tier 10 league for the years that National 5 South was active. Promotion and relegation continued to Surrey 1 and Surrey 3 respectively. Surrey 2 (1996–2000) The cancellation of National 5 South at the end of the 1995–96 season meant that Surrey 2 reverted to being a tier 9 league. Promotion and relegation continued to Surrey 1 and Surrey 3 respectively. Surrey 2 (2000–2009) The introduction of London 4 South West ahead of the 2000–01 season meant Surrey 2 dropped to become a tier 10 league. Promotion and relegation continued to Surrey 1 and Surrey 3 respectively. Surrey 2 (2009–present) Surrey 2 remained a tier 10 league despite national restructuring by the RFU. Promotion and relegation continued to Surrey 1 and Surrey 3 respectively. ==Number of league titles==
