Hampshire 2 is an English level 11 rugby union league for teams based in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. It was originally known as Hampshire 3 until the 2008–09 season when it was discontinued, but the division was reinstated as Hampshire 2 following restructuring of the Hampshire leagues for the 2018–19 season, which would once again see Hampshire rugby have three divisions as well as including second XV sides for the first time. Promoted teams move up to Hampshire 1 and relegated teams drop to Hampshire 3.

Competition points will be awarded as follows: For a win: five points; For a draw: three points; others i.e. match abandoned = two points. For a loss: one point; For losing by less than 15 points; one point. Four try bonus: one point.[1]

Hampshire 2 will have promotion playoffs at the end of the season on the RFU matrix specified playoff dates. Playoff positions will be: #1 vs. #4 and #2 vs. #3. The winners of these playoff matches will be promoted to Hampshire 1.
