The 2000β01 Tetley's Bitter Rugby Union County Championship was the 101st edition of England's County Championship rugby union club competition. [1] [2]
Yorkshire won their 14th title by defeating Cornwall in the final. [3]
The competition had been devastated by the cancelling of fixtures due to flooding in 2000 and a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in 2001, so therefore the two previous years' winners Yorkshire and Cornwall met in a challenge match to decide the Championship. [4]
