Dorset & Wilts 1 South is an English Rugby Union league, forming part of the South West Division, for clubs based in southern Dorset. 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 to Southern Counties South while relegated generally teams drop to Dorset & Wilts 2 South.
