The 1933 County Championship was the 40th officially organised running of the County Championship. Yorkshire County Cricket Club won the championship title for the third successive year.[1] The method for deciding the championship was changed once again as follows[2] -

  • A minimum of 24 matches
  • 15 points for a win
  • 7.5 points to each side in a match where the scores finish level
  • 5 points for first-innings lead in a drawn match
  • 3 points for first-innings deficit in a drawn match
  • 4 points to each side where the first-innings scores are level in a drawn match or where there is no result on first innings or where there is no play.
  • Positions decided by a percentage of points won against possible points available
  • Matches with the first two days washed out would then be played as one day matches and decided on first innings, with 10 points for the winner and 3 points for the loser.
