Bath were the defending champions and West Hartlepool and Sale were the promoted teams. This was the first Courage League season to be shown live on Sky Sports. Leicester were the eventual champions, beating Bath by four points, claiming their second league title. The battle to avoid relegation was extremely keenly fought, with Northampton being the sole relegated side to the 1995–96 National Division 2 after Gloucester managed to draw their rescheduled game against Bath, meaning that the Kingsholm side stayed up instead.http://homepage.ntlworld.com/eggchaser/rugby/england/cl1994.html https://archive.today/20120710183226/http://homepage.ntlworld.com/eggchaser/rugby/england/cl1994.html dead July 10, 2012 1994/95 Courage League Division 1 Table Homepage.ntlworld.com 2011-10-18 yes Structure Each side played one another twice, in a round robin system, home and away, to make a total of eighteen matches for each team.
