The 1929 County Championship was the 36th officially organised running of the County Championship. Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club won the championship title for the second time.
A new method of deciding the Championship was introduced where all counties played 28 matches with the team with the most points being declared winners instead of the previous system of calculating the percentage of points gained against possible points available.
Table Eight points were awarded for a win Four points were awarded for a tie Five points for the team leading after the first innings of a drawn match Three points for the team losing after the first innings of a drawn match Four points for the teams if tied after the first innings of a drawn match Four points for a no result on first innings (after more than six hours playing time) If the weather reduces a match to less than six hours and there has not been a result on first innings then the match shall be void. + County Championship tableTeamPldWLDWFDLFNRPtsNottinghamshire 28 14 2 4 6 2 158Lancashire 28 12 3 6 6 1 148Yorkshire 28 10 2 9 5 2 148Gloucestershire 28 15 6 1 4 2 145Sussex 28 13 6 7 2 0 145Middlesex 28 12 7 6 3 0 135Derbyshire 28 10 6 8 3 1 133Kent 28 12 8 6 2 0 132Leicestershire 28 9 6 9 4 0 129Surrey 28 8 7 5 6 2 115Hampshire 28 8 10 0 8 2 96Essex 28 6 9 3 9 1 94Northamptonshire 28 7 13 2 6 0 84Warwickshire 28 5 13 4 5 1 79Somerset 28 3 17 5 3 0 58Worcestershire 28 2 15 3 6 2 57Glamorgan 28 3 19 3 3 0 48
