DCRURS sent a letter, external to Durham County RFU, which represents 33 clubs in the area.
It detailed four instances of abuse in the senior game, and three in the junior game.
It said referees would now struggle to cover games this season, and warned it could be left “with no option” but to let matches go ahead without an official.
Durham County RFU said it had “fair, yet robust disciplinary procedures in place and takes match official abuse extremely seriously”.
A spokesperson said all cases were dealt with on a case-by-case basis in line with regulations.
It added it had forwarded the letter to all clubs.
