The 1903 County Championship was the fourteenth officially organised running of the County Championship, and ran from 4 May to 3 September 1903.

Table
- One point was awarded for a win, and one point was taken away for each loss. Final placings were decided by dividing the number of points earned by the number of completed matches (i.e. those that ended in a win or a loss), and multiplying by 100.
