Dorset & Wilts 1 North is an English Rugby Union league, forming part of the South West Division, for clubs based in northern Dorset and Wiltshire. Originally consisting of one league, Dorset & Wilts 1 split into north and south regional divisions back in 2004 and had even had teams based in Berkshire participating up until 2001 when 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.
