The Nationwide League is a domestic Kenyan rugby union competition. Full members of the Kenya Rugby Union that do not participate in the top tier Kenya Cup are entitled to participate in the league. It operates in a system of promotion and relegation with the Kenya Cup. Matches are played on Saturday afternoons, usually before fixtures in the Kenya Cup.

For the 2015-16 tournament, sixty four competing teams are divided into seven regional pools in a single round-robin league with the top teams proceeding to a knock-out competition. Six teams will earn promotion to a newly formulated Kenya Cup 2 tournament

After the round of fixtures played on the 6th February 2016, eight teams were withdrawn for failure to honor matches
