Régionale 1 is the eighth division of rugby union in France. There are approximately 240 clubs involved in the competition. Teams participating in the competition are eligible to join the French National Amateur Rugby Union 3rd Division Championship.
After the reformation of the amateur divisions in 2021, Régionale 1 superseded the French Honneur Championship, which should not be confused with the Honneur Championship of 1948 to 1955 which corresponded to the 3rd division, the current Fédérale 3.
