Somerset County Cricket Club competed in four competitions in the 1979 season: the first-class County Championship; and three limited overs competitions — the Gillette Cup, the John Player League and the Benson & Hedges Cup. The county fared well in the limited-overs competitions, winning both the Gillette Cup and the John Player League (the first two trophies ever won by the club), although they were disqualified from the Benson & Hedges Cup when the TCCB deemed that they had brought the game into disrepute during a match against Worcestershire.
