The 1964 County Championship was the 65th officially organised running of the County Championship.[1] Worcestershire won their first Championship title.[2]
Worcestershire's 41-point margin over the second-placed team was the largest in the competition since 1957, and they won the title with three matches to spare.[3] They went to the top of the county table on 7 August from their Midlands rivals, Warwickshire, and finished the season with seven wins and a draw from their last eight matches to clinch the championship.[4]
Table
- 10 points for a win
- 5 points to each side for a tie
- 5 points to side still batting in a match in which scores finish level
- 2 points for first innings lead in a match drawn or lost
- 1 point for first innings tie in a match lost
- If no play possible on the first two days, and the match does not go into the second innings, the side leading on first innings scores 6 points. If the scores are level, the side batting second scores 3 points.
