The 2024–25 División de Honor is the 58th season of the División de Honor, the top flight of Spanish domestic rugby union.
El Salvador won the title for the 9th time, defeating Cisneros in the final.
Competition format The season takes place between October and May.
Points are awarded as follows: 4 points for a win 2 points for a draw 1 bonus point for a team scoring 4 tries or more in a match 1 bonus point for a team that loses a match by 7 points or fewer
Each team plays eleven games - one game against each opponent. Then the league divides into two groups: the top six teams progress to Group A and the remaining six teams progress to Group B. The teams play five additional games, facing the other members of their groups once more.
Eight teams progress through to the playoffs, meaning the top two teams from Group B qualify along with the six teams from Group A.
Promotion and relegation The second-tier División de Honor B is made up of three regional groups. The top eight teams across the three groups play off; the champion is promoted to División de Honor.
For both the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons, two teams would be relegated, bringing the league's total to 10 teams.
Teams Belenos RC were relegated while CR La Vila were promoted.
