In addition to the National and Regional League Competitions organised by the RFU, Surrey arranges and administers very successful Reserve Leagues - Sponsored by Sporting Class. They provide league based competitions aimed at 2nd, 3rd and 4th XV teams.

They also provide a home to the few clubs whose 1st XV is not yet strong enough to compete in the league competitions organised by the RFU. The Reserve League rules are tailored to the special need of clubs running 2nd XV and other lower teams, providing a greater degree of flexibility than RFU organised competitions.
