The 2009 English cricket season was the 110th in which the County Championship had been an official competition. Four regular tournaments were played: The LV County Championship (first-class), Friends Provident Trophy (50 Over), NatWest Pro40 League (40 Over) and the Twenty20 Cup (T20). All four tournaments featured the eighteen classic county cricket teams, although the Friends Provident Trophy also featured sides from Ireland and Scotland.

On the international scene England hosted the 2009 ICC World Twenty20.[1] Australia toured England to compete for the Ashes; it was the 74th test series between the two sides with England winning 2–1. The West Indies also toured losing the Wisden Trophy test series 2–0 to England.[2]
