Cornwall League 1
Cornwall 1, known as Tribute Cornwall 1 for sponsorship reasons, is an English level nine rugby union league for clubs based in Cornwall. It has been running continually since 1987–88. The champions are promoted to the Tribute Cornwall/Devon league, and the runner-up plays the second team in Tribute Devon 1, with the winning team gaining promotion. One or two teams are usually relegated to Tribute Cornwall 2. Saltash are the most successful team having won the league on five occasions and have been runner-up three times; they currently play in Tribute Cornwall/Devon.

From the 2016–17 season Cornwall 1 and Cornwall 2 were amalgamated to create the Tribute Cornwall League with fifteen teams playing each other once in a 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.[1] Hayle won both phase one and phase two, winning the title with two matches to play. They are promoted to the Cornwall/Devon league, following their relegation from that league in 2015–16. Newquay Hornets finished in second place and were due to play their counterparts from Devon, Torrington for the second promotion spot. Newquay did not want promotion and declined to play the match.
For the 2018–19 season Cornwall 1 and Cornwall 2 would revert to being two separate divisions. At present, a club from Cornwall 1 is picked to take part in the RFU Junior Vase - a national cup competition for clubs at levels 9-12.

Notes
- Veor moved to the Memorial Ground at the start of the 2016–17 season having been given notice to leave original ground Wheal Berry.[3]
- Illogan Park withdrew from the league at the start of the season due to having only fourteen players in their squad.
- Cornwall Leagues 1 and 2 were combined to form a single division.
- Lankelly-Fowey withdrew during the league season.
- After a break of two seasons Cornwall League 1 was split into two divisions.
- Cornwall Leagues 1 and 2 were combined to form a single division.
- The result of the 2003-04 promotion playoff between Old Plymothian & Mannamedian and Perranporth is not listed on the RFU website, although Old Plymothian & Mannamedian would have had home advantage as they had a better league record than Perranporth. We do, however, know that Old Plymothian & Mannamedian won this game as they were in Cornwall/Devon the next season while Perranporth were not.
- Due to the restructuring of the English league system by the RFU for the 2009-10 season there would be no 2008-09 promotion playoff between the league runners up in Cornwall 1 and Devon 1 with the champions and runners up from each league going up automatically.
- Topsham were automatically promoted at the end of the 2015-16 season as Camborne School of Mines did not want to be promoted.[38]
- Torrington were automatically promoted at the end of the 2016-17 season as Newquay Hornets did not want to be promoted.[40]
Sponsorship
The Cornwall One League was part of the Courage Clubs Championship and sponsored by Courage Brewery from the first season, 1987–88 to season 1996–97.[43] The league was unsponsored until season 2007–08 when St Austell Brewery sponsored South-west based leagues under the Tribute Ale label.
