Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox cricket tournament The 1776 English cricket season was the fifth in which matches have been awarded retrospective first-class cricket status. The scorecards of seven first-class matches have survived. The earliest printed cricket scorecard templates were introduced during 1776.
Matches
Seven first-class match scorecards survive from 1776, all of them involving Hampshire XIs playing either Kent XIs or Surrey XIs.[1][2]
- 5–7 June - Hampshire XI v Kent XI - Moulsey Hurst[3]
- 25–26 June - Kent XI v Hampshire XI - Sevenoaks Vine[4]
- 2–4 July - Hampshire XI v Kent XI - Broadhalfpenny Down[5]

- 6–8 August - Surrey XI v Hampshire XI - Laleham Burway[8]
- 26–28 August - Hampshire XI v Surrey XI - Broadhalfpenny Down[9]
Three other matches not between county sides are known to have been played during the season. Full scorecards do not survive from these matches.[10]
In the 6–8 August Surrey v Hampshire match at Laleham Burway, John Wood and Lumpy Stevens made a last-wicket partnership of 43 to win the match for Surrey. This was the first known one-wicket margin in a first-class match, while Wood and Stevens' newly established record for the highest last-wicket partnership to win stood until 1877, when the Gentlemen added 46 for the last wicket to win the 2–4 July Gentlemen v Players match at Lord's.
