The 1896 Minor Counties Championship was the second running of the Minor Counties Cricket Championship, and ran from 25 May to 29 August 1896. Worcestershire won their first outright title,[1] having shared the previous year's championship.[2] Buckinghamshire were runners-up and were the only other team to win more games than they lost.[1] Thirteen teams competed in the championship, down one from the previous year. Bedfordshire, Cheshire and Lincolnshire were absent, while Glamorgan and Northumberland made their Minor Counties Championship debuts.
The leading run-scorer, Harry Foster, who played for Worcestershire,[3] was the only batsman to score more than one century over the course of the season.[4] The leading wicket-taker, Buckinghamshire's George Nash,[5] took the two largest match wicket hauls of the season: 14/100 and 12/102 against Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire, respectively.[6]
