Gloucester Premier is an English rugby union league which sits at the eighth level of league rugby union in England with teams largely being based in the county of Gloucestershire as well as some teams from Bristol. The league champions automatically move up into Tribute Western Counties North while the runners up play against the runners up from Tribute Somerset Premier for their place. Relegated teams drop down into Gloucester 1.

2015–16

The 2015–16 Gloucester Premier consists of twelve teams from Gloucestershire and north-east Bristol. The season starts on 5 September 2015 and is due to end on 23 April 2016.

Participating teams and location

Eight of the twelve teams participated in last season's competition. The 2014–15 champions Stroud and runners up Whitehall (who won their playoff game) were promoted to Tribute Western Counties North while Painswick and Gordon League were relegated to Gloucester 1.
