Saracens West Hartlepool Rugby Lions

The 1992–93 National Division 1 (sponsored by Courage Brewery) was the sixth season of the top tier of the English rugby union league system, the Courage Clubs Championship, currently known as Premiership Rugby. Bath were the defending champions while new teams included the promoted sides, Rugby Lions and London Irish.

Bath were the champions for the third year running (and fourth overall), beating Wasps on points difference on the very last day of the season after both sides won their final fixtures. Four clubs were relegated to the 1993–94 National Division 2; London Scottish, Saracens, West Hartlepool and Rugby Lions.

Structure

Each side playing the others once to make a total of twelve matches each. Restructuring at the end of the season for the league from thirteen to ten teams, meant that the bottom four sides would be relegated to National Division 2.
