Sussex 2 is an English level 10 Rugby Union League.[1] It is run by the Sussex Rugby Football Union and contains teams predominantly from West Sussex. The twelve teams play home and away matches from September through to April. Promoted teams move up to Sussex Spitfire 1 and demoted teams fall to Sussex Oranjeboom Division 3. Up until 2003-04 the league was known as Sussex 2 which was abolished at the end of that season. Sussex Canterbury Jack Intermediate emerged in 2010-11 as the second tier competition for Sussex with a large number of 2nd, 3rd and 4th teams taking part. The division name changed to Sussex Canterbury Jack Division 2 for the 2016-17 season. A further name change resulted in Sussex Canterbury Jack 2 becoming Sussex 2 Armada Ale for the 2017-18 season.

  3. ^ Lots of relegations this season as Sussex 3 would return for the following season and Sussex 2 East would remerge with Sussex 2 West to form a single division Sussex 2.
