The Winners and losers

County Championship

The first County Championship was in 1890 and except for 2 breaks for the World Wars and a break of one season (2020) because of Coronavirus, it has been running ever since. The 2 divisions were introduced in 2000.
In 2021 the format was completely changed. There were 3 groups of 6 teams (not regional). Each county played the other 5 teams home and away. The first 2 in each group then went into Division 1, the 3rd and 4th placed teams into Division 2 and the last 2 into Division 3. The teams then played 4 more games against the teams they did not play in the group stage. The winners of Division One, Warwickshire were the County Champions.
In 2022 they reverted back to two divisions with 10 teams in Division One and 8 teams in Division Two.
The first sponsors were Schweppes (1977-1983). Other sponsors were Britannic Assurance (1984-1998), PPP Healthcare (1999-2000), Cricinfo (2001), Frizzell (2002-2005), London Victoria (2006-2015), Specsavers (2016-2019), LV= (2021-2023), Vitality (2024 to present).
