National Counties Cricket Championship

The National Counties Cricket Championship or NCCA 3 Day Championship, formerly known as the Minor Counties Cricket Championship, is an annual season-long competition in England and Wales that is contested by the teams of the National Counties Cricket Association (NCCA), the so-called National Counties (previously called the Minor Counties), county clubs that do not have first-class status. The competition began in 1895; the honorary secretary of Worcestershire CCC, Paul Foley, was influential in its creation.
