Eastern Counties 6 was an English level 13 Rugby Union league with teams from Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk taking part. Promoted teams used to move up to Eastern Counties 5 and, as this was the lowest tier league in the Eastern Counties divisions, there was no relegation. After just four seasons Eastern Counties 6 was cancelled at the end of the 1991–92 campaign.
