The 2017 English cricket season was the 118th in which the County Championship had been an official competition. The season, which began on 28 March and ended on 29 September, featured two global one-day competitions played in England and Wales, the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy and the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup. England Women's team won the World Cup, defeating India in the final at Lord's. Pakistan beat India in the Champions Trophy final.

The season included men's international tours of England by South Africa and West Indies.[1] England played four Test matches against South Africa and three against West Indies. Both teams also played One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) series against England, whilst Ireland played a two ODI series against England.

The season also saw the first-class counties compete in the 2017 County Championship, 2017 Royal London One-Day Cup and 2017 NatWest t20 Blast competitions. Essex won the County Championship, and Nottinghamshire won both limited overs competitions. Lancashire Women won both the Women's County Championship and the Women's Twenty20 Cup. In the second season of the Women's Cricket Super League, the title was won by Western Storm, who defeated Southern Vipers in the final. The Minor Counties competed for the 2017 Minor Counties Championship and MCCA Knockout Trophy, both of which were won by Berkshire. Club and recreational cricket was played throughout both countries.
