Counties 2 Surrey is a level 8 English Rugby Union League.

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

Also departing were Old Freemans who finished 12th in the previous season and suffered a double relegation to Counties 4 Surrey.

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

The introduction of London 4 South West ahead of the 2000–01 season meant Surrey 2 dropped to become a tier 10 league.
