Sussex Oranjeboom Division 3 (formerly known as Sussex Oranjeboom 2 West) is an English level 11 Rugby Union League. It is run by the Sussex Rugby Football Union and was originally for teams predominantly from West Sussex until a division reorganization for the 2016-17 meant that clubs from East Sussex would also take part. Promoted teams move up to Sussex Canterbury Jack Division 2 while relegated teams drop down to either Sussex Asahi Division 4 East or Sussex Late Red Division 4 West depending on geography. Sussex Oranjeboom 2 West was introduced in 2010-11 and is the equivalent to former division Sussex 3 which had its last season in 2003-04. It changed to its current name of Sussex Oranjeboom Division 3 in 2016-17.
