Herts/Middlesex 1 is a tier 9 English Rugby Union league. It is organised by the London and South East Division Rugby Football Union and is the top tier competition for clubs in Hertfordshire and parts of north-west London that traditionally was encompassed by the historic county of Middlesex. When it was formed ahead of the 1992–93 season it was known as Herts/Middlesex, changing to its current name by the 1996–97 season.

Each year some of the clubs in this division also take part in the RFU Junior Vase - a level 9-12 national competition. Promoted teams typically go up to London 3 North West while relegated teams drop to Herts/Middlesex 2.

  7. ^ Harpenden and Hitchin were both relegated to Hertfordshire 1.
  8. ^ London New Zealand and Upper Clapton were relegated to the newly introduced Herts/Middlesex 2.
  9. ^ League restructuring meant that the top eight clubs including Old Meadonians, Tring, Hackney, Uxbridge and Mill Hill were promoted to London 3 North West. 5th place Old Elizabethans were also due to be promoted but would instead merge with Barnet to form Barnet Elizabethans playing in London 2 North.
  10. ^ League restructuring meant there was no relegation.
  11. ^ Relegated sides Centaurs and Wembley would drop out of the leagues.
  12. ^ No relegation as division would increase from 14 to 15 teams the next season.
  13. ^ Relegated teams included Epping Upper Clapton, Hitchin, Old Haberdashers, H.A.C., Haringey Rhinos, U.C.S. Old Boys and CS Rugby 1863. The reason for so many relegated teams was due to league restructuring for the following season meaning that the division would decrease from 15 to 10 teams.

  15. ^ Chiswick's titles include one won when known as Old Meadowians RFC.
