Following the RFU's Adult Competition Review, from season 2022-23 it adopted its current name Counties 4 Kent.

Each year some of the clubs in this division also take part in the RFU Junior Vase - a level 9-12 national competition.

Departing were Beckenham II, Brockleians and Old Gravesendians, all promoted to Counties 3 Kent.

Joining were King's College Hospital and Footscray, both relegated from Counties 3 Kent, together with Beckenham II and Medway III

This was the first season following the RFU Adult Competition Review[2] with the league adopting its new name of Counties 4 Kent.

The cancellation of National 5 South at the end of the 1995–96 season meant that Kent 2 reverted to being a tier 9 league.

Kent 2 was restructured back into a single division for the 2000–01 season, although the introduction of London 4 South East meant that it fell to become a tier 10 league.
