The 2019 County Championship , known for sponsorship reasons as the 2019 Specsavers County Championship , was the 120th cricket County Championship season. As in 2018, Division One had eight teams and Division Two had ten teams. The first round of matches began on 5 April and the final round of matches ended on 26 September.[1] Surrey were the defending champions.[2] At the end of the 2019 season only one team was relegated with three promoted.[3] Therefore, from 2020 onwards, Division One would feature ten teams and Division Two would feature eight.[a]
