'''Counties 3 Yorkshire''', previously known as '''Yorkshire 3''', is an English rugby union league at the ninth tier of the domestic competition. Club rugby in Yorkshire operates without promotion play-offs meaning that the top two teams are automatically promoted to Counties 2 Yorkshire and the bottom two teams are relegated to Counties 4 Yorkshire. Each season a team from Counties 3 Yorkshire or Counties 4 Yorkshire may be picked to take part in the RFU Junior Vase - a national competition for clubs at levels 9–12.
==Participating clubs 2026-27==
Ahead of the new season a decision was taken to introduce 2XVs into the league(s) and to split the clubs out into A (North & East) and B (South & West) divisions.
==A Division==
Departing were Leeds Corinthians and Wheatley Hills promoted to Counties 2 Yorkshire B while Thornensians were relegated to Counties 4 Yorkshire C. {{col-begin|width=100%}} {{col-break|width=70%}} {| class="wikitable sortable" width=100% |- !|Team !|Ground !|Capacity !|City/Area !|Previous season |- | Burley || Abbey Lane || || Hawksworth, Leeds, West Yorkshire || 8th |- | Hornsea || Hollis Recreation Ground || || Hornsea, East Riding of Yorkshire || 9th |- | Morley II || Scatcherd Lane ||6,000 (1,000 seats) || Morley, West Yorkshire || New entry |- | Nestle Rowntree || Mille Crux || || York, North Yorkshire || Promoted from Counties 4 Yorkshire (North) (champions) |- | Scarborough II || Silver Royd || 4500 (425 seats) || Scalby, Scarborough, North Yorkshire || New entry |- | Selby II || Sandhill Lane || || Selby, North Yorkshire || New entry |- | Skipton || Sandylands || || Skipton, North Yorkshire || 8th |- | Wensleydale II || Cawkill Park || || Leyburn, North Yorkshire || New entry |- | West Park Leeds || The Sycamores || || Bramhope, Leeds, West Yorkshire || 4th |- | York Railway Institute || New Lane || || York, North Yorkshire || Promoted from Counties 4 Yorkshire (North) (runners-up) |- |}

==Participating clubs 2022–23==
This was the first season following the RFU Adult Competition Review. The league was substantially similar to Yorkshire 3 with teams ranked 4th to 12th returning (1st to 3rd were 'promoted' to Counties 2 Yorkshire and the bottom two 'relegated' to Counties 4 Yorkshire) and supplemented by top 2 from Yorkshire 4 and one coming down from Yorkshire 2 so with five departing but only three arriving the league was reduced from 14 teams to 12.

===Yorkshire 3 (1993–2000)===
The creation of National 5 North for the 1993–94 season meant that Yorkshire 3 dropped to become a tier 12 league. A further restructure at the end of the 1995–96 season, which included the cancellation of National 5 North and the addition of North East 3 at tier 9, saw Yorkshire 3 remain at tier 12.

===Yorkshire 3 (2000–present)===
Northern league restructuring by the RFU at the end of the 1999–2000 season saw the cancellation of North East 1, North East 2 and North East 3 (tiers 7–9). This meant that Yorkshire 3 became a tier 9 league.
