County Championship Division I
Cricket
The County Championship competition is mainly played in England, over four days. Glamorgan, a Welsh county, is the only team not named after a historic English county. The first official competition was played in 1890, but unofficial matches had been played between counties for more than 150 years. To determine the Champion team in 1890, the number of losses was subtracted from the number of wins for each team out of the 14 required matches, Surrey was the victor. As the number of teams grew, the number of matches played increased, and a point system was introduced to determine winners. | Season | Winners | Relegated from Division One | Second Division Winners | Promoted from Second Division |
