League history

When the league system was established in 1987, High Wycombe was placed in South West Division One, then the fifth tier of league rugby. After finishing as runners-up in the first to seasons of league rugby,[2] the club won promotion to Courage Clubs 4 South for the 1991/92 season. The 1993 restructure saw the club placed in Courage League Division 5 South and played in that division throughout its three season existence. However when they were placed back in National 4 South, they were immediately relegated[3] and were relegated again the following season.[4] Since then they have moved between South West 1 East and Southern Counties North, having been promoted and relegated three times.
