Participating teams and location This was the first season following the
RFU Adult Competition Review. The league had some similarities to
North 2 West with five teams returning; of the remainder, four were promoted – three to
Regional 2 North West (Anselmians,
Rochdale and
Winnington Park ) and one (Keswick) to
Regional 2 North – whilst two were level transferred to
Counties 1 Cumbria (Cockermouth and St. Benedict's), and one dropped to
Counties 2 ADM Lancashire & Cheshire (
Orrell). The remaining places were taken by five teams returning from the ADM Premier Division and two from the ADM Championship – two of the
Lancashire RFU breakaway leagues formed in 2018–19.
