The 1993–94 National Division 5 North was the seventh full season of rugby union within the fifth tier of the English league system, currently the regional divisions Midlands Premier and North Premier, and the first using the name National Division 5 North, with its counterpart being National Division 5 South. The introduction of a new National Division 4 meant that the old National Division 4 North and South were merged and two new regional leagues introduced at tier 5.
Rotherham finished the season as champions and were promoted to the 1994–95 National Division 4. The bottom two sides were Durham City and Bradford & Bingley, both relegated to North Division 1.
Structure Each team played home and away matches against each of the other teams, playing a total of twenty-two matches each. The champions are promoted to National Division 4 while the bottom two teams are relegated to either Midlands Division 1 or North Division 1 depending on their locality.
