The East Regional Hockey Association is the organising body for field hockey in the East of England. It feeds teams into the Men's and Women's England Hockey Leagues and takes teams from sub-regional leagues.

League structure

The men's and women's leagues both share a similar structure consisting of a Premier Division 1, with subsequent lower Premier divisions, followed by regional and sub-regional (county) divisions.[1] [2] Following a league restructure in 2021, the catchment area was reduced to cover the following counties:[3]
