The Bob Willis Trophy was a domestic first-class cricket competition in England and Wales for the eighteen first-class counties, organised by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

It was established in the 2020 English cricket season. The tournament was named the Bob Willis Trophy[1] in honour of former England cricket captain and fast bowler Bob Willis, who died in December 2019.[2]

While in 2020 it was promoted as being a one-off competition,[3] the Bob Willis Trophy was contested again in 2021 as a five-day final between the top two teams in County Championship Division One.[4] In January 2022, the ECB announced that the Bob Willis Trophy would not be played to end that year's championship; managing director of county cricket Neil Snowball said that the ECB was discussing the future format of the trophy with Willis's family.[5]

From 2022 the trophy was adopted by the Cricket Writers' Club, to be presented to their England's player of the year. The inaugural winner was Jonny Bairstow.[6]
