1873 English cricket season
1873 was the 87th season of cricket in England since the foundation of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). In only their fourth season as a first-class team, Gloucestershire was proclaimed joint "Champion County" by the media and went on to claim the still unofficial title four times in five seasons (1873, 1874, 1876 and 1877).
