Dorset & Wilts 1 North is an English Rugby Union league, forming part of the South West Division, for clubs primarily based in Wiltshire. Originally consisting of one league, Dorset & Wilts 1 split into north and south regional divisions in 2004. It had even had teams based in Berkshire participating until 2001, at which time they left to join the Buckinghamshire & Oxon leagues. Promoted teams tend to move up into Southern Counties South while relegated teams tend to drop down into Dorset & Wilts 2 North.
