The 2018 Bill Beaumont County Championship Division 3 was the 14th version of the competition that is part of the annual English rugby union County Championship, organised by the RFU for the tier 3 English counties. Each county drew its players from rugby union clubs from the fifth tier and below of the English rugby union league system. The counties were divided into two regional pools (east/west) with the winners of each pool meeting in the final at the Athletic Ground in Richmond, London - a change from previous seasons, where the final was held at Twickenham Stadium. Oxfordshire were the reigning champions, having won last year's final.[1][2]
By the end of the group stage, Essex did just enough by winning two tight games to top Pool 1, while Dorset & Wilts managed to win Pool 2 on bonus points despite losing their final game against Berkshire. In the final held at the Athletic Ground, Dorset & Wilts overcame Essex 24 points to 22 to claim their third Division 3 title and first since 2011.[3] Based on results over the two years, Essex (north) and Sussex (south) were promoted to the 2019 Bill Beaumont County Championship Division 2.[4][5]
