The 3 day County Championship season starts with a match against Bedfordshire at Swalwell Cricket Club on 23–25 June. Northumberland’s two other home matches will both be played at Jesmond, against Hertfordshire on 4–6 August and against Cambridgeshire on 18–20 August. The three away matches are against Buckinghamshire (21-23 July), Norfolk (11-13 August) and Suffolk (1-3 September).

Tom Cant, captain of Tynedale Cricket Club, will again captain Northumberland. Tom said: “We are hoping to build on our performances in 2018 when a number of promising young players made their debuts for the County. These players will have benefitted from their experience and established players such as Oli McGee, Sean Tindale and James Thompson will all be available again.”
