The 1992–93 National Division 3 (sponsored by Courage Brewery) was the sixth season of the third tier of the English rugby union league system, the Courage Clubs Championship, currently known as National League 1. New sides to the division included Liverpool St Helens and Plymouth (relegated from tier 2) and Aspatria and Havant (promoted from tier 2), with number of teams was reduced from thirteen to twelve teams following the merger of Leeds based sides, Headingley and Roundhay, to form Leeds RUFC.
Otley finished the season as champions and were promoted to the 1993–94 National Division 2 while eight teams dropped into the new 1993–94 National Division 4.
Each team played one match against each of the other teams, playing a total of twelve matches each. RFU restructuring of the English rugby union league system ahead of the 1993–94 season, including the merger of National League 2 North and South into a single National Division 4 and the introduction of National Division 5, meant that just one team would be promoted into National Division 2 and eight teams relegated to the new National Division 5.
