The 2012 County Championship season, known as the LV= County Championship for sponsorship reasons,[1] was the 113th cricket County Championship season. Warwickshire won their seventh County Championship title, clinching the trophy with a match to spare in early September following an innings victory over Worcestershire.[2]

The tournament was contested through two divisions of nine teams each. Each team played the others in their division both home and away, for a total of 16 matches per team. However, the season was significantly disrupted by exceptionally wet weather—notably the wettest summer in 100 years—leading to 82 drawn matches across both divisions and several total abandonments.[3][4]

Derbyshire won the Division Two title on the final day of the season.[5] They were promoted to Division One for the 2013 season along with runners-up Yorkshire. The bottom two sides from Division One, Worcestershire and the defending 2011 champions Lancashire, were relegated to the second tier.[6]
