1792 English cricket season

In the 1792 English cricket season, Kent played Hampshire at Cobham Park, which was Lord Darnley's estate and the home of the Bligh family. Ninety years later, it became the home of The Ashes in the shape of the urn brought back from Australia by the Hon. Ivo Bligh. Details of 24 matches are known, but few were important.

A match in Sheffield provides the earliest known instance of the rare dismissal of obstructing the field. Elsewhere, the earliest known cricket club in India was formed in Calcutta.
