The 1909 English cricket season saw an Ashes tour of England by Australia and Kent win the 1909 County Championship. The season was the first in which W.G. Grace had not played a first-class match since 1864. It saw Wiltshire win their second Minor Counties Championship title and the formation of the Imperial Cricket Council, which was later renamed as the International Cricket Council, in London with Australia, England and South Africa as the founding members.
