The 1759 cricket season was the 162nd in England since the earliest known definite reference to cricket in January 1597 (i.e., Old Style – 1598 New Style). Details have survived of three important eleven-a-side and no single wicket matches. Three Dartford v Rest of England matches were played, a number of well-known names being involved.
