-
This is a list of seasons played by Derbyshire County Cricket Club in English cricket, from the club's formation in 1870.
Contents
Early years 1871–1887
Derbyshire played their first matches in 1871. For the first three years their only opponents were Lancashire. When Kent joined in in 1874, by a quirk of scoring which was based on games lost, they were Champion County. The club was bedevilled by financial problems, and in 1888 the sporting press decided no longer to accord them first class status.
Wilderness years 1888–1893
From 1888 Derbyshire's matches were not accorded first class status. However the club continued to play first class counties and most of the players carried on with the club. In 1891 the County Championship was established and four years later Derbyshire were invited to join.

New Competitions 1963–1998
In the 1960s, in order to revitalise the game, various competitions were introduced and Derbyshire participated in these. The Gillette Cup – later The National Westminster Bank Trophy – began in 1963 as a Knock Out (KO) competition, The John Player League – later The National League began in 1969 as a one-day competition. The Benson & Hedges Cup competition began in 1972 as a Limited Over (LO)knock out competition with preliminary groups.
