Worcestershire were admitted to the Championship, increasing the number of counties with first-class status to 15.
Table
- One point was awarded for a win, and one point was taken away for each loss. Final placings were decided by dividing the number of points earned by the number of completed matches (i.e. those that ended in a win or a loss), and multiplying by 100.
