The 1957 County Championship was the 58th officially organised running of the County Championship.[1] Surrey won the Championship title for the sixth successive year.
Changes were applied to the points system for the Championship as follows:[2]
- 12 points for a win
- 6 points to team still batting in the fourth innings of a match in which scores finish level
- 2 points for first innings lead
- 2 bonus points for team leading on first innings if they also score faster on runs per over in first innings
- If no play possible on the first two days, and the match does not go into the second innings, the team leading on first innings scores 8 points.
