Counties 3 Cornwall (formerly known as Tribute Cornwall League 2) is an English level nine rugby union league for clubs based in Cornwall. The champions and runner-up are promoted to Counties 2 Cornwall (formerly Cornwall League 1); there is no relegation. The league ran continuously since 1987–88, except for a two-season break, when Cornwall 2 combined with Cornwall League 1 for seasons 2009–10 and 2010–11. The competition recommenced in 2011–12 when it was decided to form two leagues of seven teams each.[1]
For the 2016–17 season Cornwall 1 and Cornwall 2 were amalgamated to create the Cornwall League with fifteen teams playing each other once in the first phase. After Christmas the teams split into two leagues with the top eight playing in Cornwall One and the remainder playing in Cornwall Two.[2][3] For the 2018–19 season Cornwall League 1 and Cornwall League 2 reverted to separate divisions.
St Ives are the current champions and promoted to [Counties 2 Cornwall and St Agnes are the most successful team having won the league on six occasions.
The season runs from September to April and comprises twenty rounds of matches, with each club playing each of its rivals, home and away. The results of the matches contribute points to the league as follows:
Ten teams are competing in the current season. Perranporth, Redruth Albany and St Just returned from the 2021–22 competition. Lankelly-Fowey, Roseland and St Agnes were relegated from Cornwall 1, while four club 2nd teams joined the league; Bude II, Camborne II, Launceston II and Wadebridge Camels II.
Stithians, who finished 4th in 2019–20, returned for 2021–22 but withdrew from the league in September 2021, consequently it ran with five teams instead.
