This league was not always the bottom division as for a while there was a [Yorkshire 6](/source/Yorkshire_6) but this league merged with Yorkshire 5. Also, for a short period, Yorkshire 5 was split into two parallel leagues based on geographical location. Promoted teams moved up to [Yorkshire 4](/source/Yorkshire_4). At the end of the 2016-17 season Yorkshire 5 was abolished due to [RFU](/source/Rugby_Football_Union) changes to the Yorkshire league structure. This restructuring would see [Yorkshire 4](/source/Yorkshire_4) broken up into two regional leagues - [Yorkshire 4 (North West)](/source/Yorkshire_4_(North_West)) and [Yorkshire 4 (South East)](/source/Yorkshire_4_(South_East)) - with teams from both Yorkshire 4 and 5 transferred into these new leagues.{{cite web|url=http://www.rfunorth.com/news/news6.htm|title=Changes to the Structure of Yorkshire Four and Five (June 14 2017)|publisher=RFU North|date=14 June 2017|access-date=31 August 2017|archive-date=31 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170831173809/http://www.rfunorth.com/news/news6.htm|url-status=dead}} ==Participating Clubs 2016-17== *Garforth *Knaresborough *Mosborough '''(relegated from [Yorkshire 4](/source/Yorkshire_4))''' *Rossington Hornets *Sheffield Oaks '''(relegated from [Yorkshire 4](/source/Yorkshire_4))''' *Thirsk *Wibsey *Withernsea ==Participating Clubs 2015-16== *Garforth *Hallamshire *Hornsea '''(relegated from [Yorkshire 4](/source/Yorkshire_4))''' *Knaresborough ('''relegated from [Yorkshire 4](/source/Yorkshire_4))''' *Rossington Hornets *Stanley Rodillians *Thirsk *Wibsey ==Participating Clubs 2014-15== *Garforth *Hallamshire *[Hessle](/source/Hessle_RUFC) '''(relegated from [Yorkshire 4](/source/Yorkshire_4))''' *Rossington Hornets *Rotherham Clifton *Stanley Rodillians *Thirsk *Wibsey ==Participating Clubs 2013–14== *Garforth *Hallamshire *Knaresborough - '''(relegated from [Yorkshire 4](/source/Yorkshire_4))''' *Marist - '''(relegated from [Yorkshire 4](/source/Yorkshire_4))''' *Rossington Hornets *Rotherham Clifton *Stanley Rodillians *Thirsk *Wensleydale *Wibsey ==Participating Clubs 2012–13== *Adwick Le Street *Doncaster Amateurs *Garforth *Rawmarsh *Rossington Hornets *Rotherham Clifton *Sheffield Oaks *Stanley Rodillians *Stocksbridge *Wensleydale *Wibsey ==Clubs joining the League== As this is currently the basement league of club rugby in Yorkshire, any club wishing to join the rugby union club hierarchy must begin at the bottom so all Yorkshire-based teams start in Yorkshire 5 and these are the clubs who have been accepted into the league structure for the first time. * 2012-13: Doncaster Amateurs * 2013-14: Hallamshire, Thirsk * 2016-17: Withernsea ==Original teams== When league rugby began in 1987 this division contained the following teams: *BP Chemicals *Halifax Vandals *Hornsea *Knaresborough *Leeds Corinthians *Old Rishworthians *[Ossett](/source/Ossett_RUFC) *Phoenix Park *Rowntrees *Withernsea *Yorkshire Main ==Yorkshire 5 Honours== ===Yorkshire 5 (1987–1993)=== The original Yorkshire 5 was a tier 13 league with promotion up to [Yorkshire 4](/source/Yorkshire_4) and relegation down to [Yorkshire 6](/source/Yorkshire_6) until that division was cancelled at the end of the 1991–92 season. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left;" |- |colspan="11" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"| {| border="0" style="width:100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" |- | style="width:20%; border:0;"| | style="border:0;"|'''Yorkshire 5 Honours''' | style="width:20%; border:0;"| |} |- !
