The Welsh Rugby Union Division Five East (also called the SWALEC Division Five East for sponsorship reasons) is a rugby union league in Wales.
During the course of a season (which lasts from September to May) each club plays the others twice, once at their home ground and once at that of their opponents for a total of 20 games for each club, with a total of 110 games in each season.
The team who is declared champion at the end of the season is eligible for promotion to either the WRU Division Four East or the WRU Division Four South East based on geographical location.
The two lowest placed teams are relegated into the WRU Division Six East.
[1] The initial three year sponsorship was extended at the end of the 2010/11 season, making SWALEC the league sponsors until 2015.
