North-West East 3
North-West East 3 was an English Rugby Union league which was at the twelve tier of the domestic competition and was available to teams in Greater Manchester and Lancashire. Promoted teams moved up to North-West East 2 and, as it was the lowest ranked league in the region, there was no relegation.
