The Hampshire Merit Tables are a set of leagues for rugby union teams based in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight for second, third and fourth teams of clubs who up until the 2018-19 season could not enter the first team leagues such as Hampshire 1 and Hampshire 2.

For the 2014-15 season the structure of the leagues changed to a regional basis consisting of Solent League, Hampshire South East, Hampshire South West and Hampshire North. In 2015-16 Solent League 2 was added.

In 2016-17 the leagues reverted to the older structure but named Solent League 1, 2, 3 and 4.
