The 1914 County Championship was the 25th officially organised running of the County Championship, and began on 2 May 1914. Originally scheduled to run until 9 September, the last two matches of the season (both involving Surrey) were cancelled due to the outbreak of World War I.[3][4]

With the final positions in the table being calculated by the percentage of possible points gained, Surrey were named champions for the seventh time.[5]
