The league was reformed by the [Welsh Rugby Union](/source/Welsh_Rugby_Union) (WRU) in 2012. ==History== In 2012, the new division was formed from the restructuring of the [Welsh Premier Division](/source/Welsh_Premier_Division). The Premier Division was 'slimmed down' to 12 teams with [Pontypool RFC](/source/Pontypool_RFC) and [Tonmawr RFC](/source/Tonmawr_RFC) relegated from the division. Tonmawr had already made the decision to opt out of the new league and would start the 2012–13 season in Division Six. The National Championship is the third tier, which lies below the second tier [Welsh Premier Division](/source/Welsh_Premier_Division) in [Welsh club rugby](/source/Welsh_rugby_union_system). Above Welsh club rugby sides are the four regions, the Scarlets, Ospreys, Cardiff Blues, and Dragons, as part of [regional rugby](/source/Introduction_of_regional_rugby_union_teams_in_Wales), who instead compete in the [United Rugby Championship](/source/United_Rugby_Championship). === Restructuring process === The teams for the league would be decided on three factors. Firstly, the holding of an 'A Licence' based on stadium criteria. The signing of a 'Participation Agreement' and judged on league results over the previous six seasons. It was originally decided that the Premiership would reduce in size to ten teams.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/13069895 |title=Premier Division to be Reduced to ten teams |publisher=Bbc.co.uk |date=2011-04-29 |access-date=2012-10-04}} It was announced that four clubs, Pontypool, Tonmwar, [Bridgend Ravens](/source/Bridgend_Ravens) and [Carmarthen Quins RFC](/source/Carmarthen_Quins_RFC) had not achieved the required criteria to be included into the new league. However, pressure from [Ospreys](/source/Ospreys_(rugby_union)) and [Scarlets](/source/Scarlets) backers led to the league being extended to 12 teams with Bridgend and Carmarthen included.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/15898040 |title=Bridgend & Carmarthen Quins set for Welsh Premiership reprieve |publisher=Bbc.co.uk |date=2011-11-25 |access-date=2021-03-28}} Tonmawr, citing financial reasons, opted not to take part in the new league at all and re-entered themselves into Division Six.{{cite web|url=http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/Tonmawr-opt-drop-leagues/story-16641423-detail/story.html |title=Tonmawr drop out of league |publisher=Thisissouthwales.co.uk |date=2012-08-03 |accessdate=2012-10-04}} ===2012 Pontypool legal challenge=== The new league came under scrutiny in 2012 when [Pontypool RFC](/source/Pontypool_RFC) launched a legal challenge to avoid being the only club relegated to the new division, which they ultimately lost on the grounds of 'meritocracy'.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-18801961 |title=Pontypool 'not good' enough for league |publisher=Bbc.co.uk |date=2012-07-11 |accessdate=2012-10-04}}{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-18599355 |title=Pontypool lose legal challenge |publisher=Bbc.co.uk |date=2012-06-26 |accessdate=2012-10-04}} Pontypool had finished 12th in the previous campaign, above rivals [Bedwas RFC](/source/Bedwas_RFC) and level on points with historic rivals [Newport RFC](/source/Newport_RFC). == 2025–26 season == ===Clubs and locations=== Colour markers to represent the region each club belongs to:
