1913 County Championship

The 1913 County Championship was the twenty-fourth officially organised running of the County Championship. Kent County Cricket Club won their fourth championship title, and equalled Yorkshire's 1901 record of twenty wins in one season.

Table

  • Five points were awarded for a win.
  • Three points were awarded for "winning" the first innings of a drawn match.
  • One point was awarded for "losing" the first innings of a drawn match.
  • Final placings were decided by calculating the percentage of possible points.

Records

Notable events

  • Lancashire, after suffering severe financial losses despite a dry summer, would propose radical reductions in the county cricket fixture list. This would lead that club's committee to ultimately propose a reduction in county matches to two days. After increasing financial losses throughout county cricket the following season, this reduction would be carried out for 1919, but was almost instantly considered a failure and a reversion to three-day matches took place for 1920.
