Counties 4 Gloucestershire (formerly 'Gloucester 2 North / South') are English rugby union leagues which sits at the tenth level of league rugby union in England for teams primarily based in Gloucestershire as well as some teams from Bristol. Promoted clubs move into Counties 3 Gloucestershire (North) or Counties 3 Gloucestershire (South) depending on location. Since the discontinuation of Gloucester 3 at the end of the 2017–18 season there is currently no relegation. Up until 2017-18 Gloucester 2 was a single division but has since been split into two regional divisions.

Teams 2025-26

For the new campaign the North / South divisional split was reinstated to allow for the cascading down of teams from Counties 2 Gloucestershire which was consolidated from two divisions to one with a corresponding cascade down from Counties 3 Gloucestershire (North) and Counties 3 Gloucestershire (South).
