Division Four is the fifth level and new Tournament of the ARFU. The Division IV tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, but recent unrest forced the movement of the division to neighbouring Kazakhstan and the recent closure of the border between Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan saw Kyrgyzstan unable to travel for the tournament. Kyrgyzstan were replaced by an assembled Almaty Select XV. As the winner of Division Four, Jordan was promoted to Division Three for 2011
