New teams to the division included Orrell and Plymouth Albion who were promoted from 2001-02 National Division Two while no team was relegated from the 2001-02 Zurich Premiership as Rotherham's ground was not deemed suitable for top flight games.

Moseley and Rugby were relegated to the 2003-04 National Division Two. ----
