The 1897 Minor Counties Championship was the third running of the Minor Counties Cricket Championship, and ran from 7 June to 28 August 1897. Having been unbeaten for the entire season, Worcestershire won their second consecutive outright title,[1] having also shared the title in 1895.[2] Staffordshire were level in the table with Worcestershire, but played an insufficient number of matches to be considered co-champions.[1] Sixteen teams competed in the championship, with Cornwall, Dorset and Monmouthshire all competing for the first time, though none of them played the minimum of eight matches.
The leading run-scorer, Arthur Croome of Berkshire,[3] also had the highest individual score of the season, 158 against Hertfordshire.[4] The leading wicket-taker for the second consecutive season, Buckinghamshire's George Nash,[5] took three ten wicket match hauls, including 16/74 against Oxfordshire.[6]
