The Border League, currently known as the Booker Border League, after its sponsors, includes rugby union teams from all over the Scottish Borders as well as Berwick RFC from Northumberland compete every year from the competition.
The Borders has always been a stronghold of rugby union, coupled with the competitive rivalry that exists between the local Border towns, derbies are something to behold, with the teams fighting for pride as well as league points.
Although originally the premier tournament for its clubs, the formation of a league system in the 1970s means that Border clubs now play in the Scottish League Championship and the Scottish Cup and, although still prestigious, the Border League is now regarded by many of its members as more of a supplementary competition. The current holders are Gala RFC who beat Selkirk RFC in 2016.
