Impending changes to the league structure by the RFU meant that several new leagues were to be introduced at the end of the season.

Relegation was particularly tough on newly promoted Rotherham as they finished level with Harrogate only to lose out to their Yorkshire rivals by virtue of a worse for/against record.http://www.rugbyarchive.net/pagine/StagioneCompetizioni.aspx?ID=24 Courage League - Division 4 1992/93 The Rugby Archive 20 January 2018 30 December 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20171230232916/http://www.rugbyarchive.net/Pagine/StagioneCompetizioni.aspx?ID=24 dead Structure Each team played one match against each of the other teams, playing a total of twelve matches each.
