Gloucester 3 was an English rugby union league which sat at the eleventh level of league rugby union in England for teams based in Gloucestershire as well as some in Bristol. Promoted clubs moved into Gloucester 2. However, there was no relegation as this was the basement league for club rugby union in Gloucestershire. The division was discontinued at the end of the 2017-18 season and Gloucester 2 was divided into north and south regional divisions.

Promotion play-offs

Between 2001 and 2005 there was a promotion play-off between the runners-up of Gloucester 3 North and Gloucester 3 South for the third and final promotion place to Gloucester 2. The team with the superior league record had home advantage in the tie. During the 2005-06 season the play-offs were discontinued as Gloucester 3 would merge into one division for the 2006-07 season. Before they were discontinued Gloucester 3 North teams have been the most successful with three wins to the Gloucester 3 South teams' two; and the home team has won promotion on all five occasions.
