The 2011–12 National League 1 is the third season of the third division of the English domestic rugby union competitions since the professionalised format of the second division was introduced. Birmingham & Solihull find themselves playing in this league following their relegation from the 2010–11 RFU Championship in the play-offs, whilst other newcomers to the league in this season are Ealing Trailfinders and Jersey , and Fylde , who won promotion to the league from the 2010–11 National League 2 South and 2010–11 National League 2 North respectively.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
The league title was contested by two of the newly promoted sides with Jersey finishing the season ahead of rivals Ealing Trailfinders , despite a 5-point deduction. By winning the league Jersey secured their third promotion in as many seasons, moving up to the 2012–13 RFU Championship .[ 5] They were also easily the most popular team in the division with over 33,000 fans attending the 15 home games held at St Peter - a National League 1 record.[ 6] At the opposite end of the table, Birmingham & Solihull and Stourbridge were relegated to the 2012–13 National League 2 North while Barking dropped down to the 2012–13 National League 2 South having been league runners up the previous season.[ 7] [ 8]
