Essex/Canterbury Jack 1 is an English Rugby Union league at the ninth tier of the domestic competition and features teams from Essex. Promoted clubs tend to move up to London 3 North East with the league champions going up automatically and the runners up playing a playoff against the runners up of Eastern Counties 1. Relegated clubs used to drop into Essex Spitfire 2 but as that division has been abolished there is currently no relegation. The division was created in 2003 by Essex-based teams who left Eastern Counties 1 and Eastern Counties 2.
