1994–95 Courage League Division 4

The 1994–95 Courage League Division 4 was the eighth full season of rugby union within the fourth tier of the English league system, currently the regional divisions National League 2 South and National League 2 North, and the second using the name Division 4. At the end of the season Rotherham finished as worthy champions, with just one defeat throughout the campaign to claim promotion to the 1995–96 National Division 3. They were joined by runners up Reading, who despite finishing 5 points behind were still well ahead of the chasing pack. It was quite an achievement by both sides who had only just been promoted into the division, having won their respective leagues the previous year.
