The seventeen
first-class counties, were joined by five
Minor Counties:
Bedfordshire,
Dorset,
Durham,
Staffordshire and
Wiltshire. Teams who won in the first round progressed to the second round. The winners in the second round then progressed to the quarter-final stage. Winners from the quarter-finals then progressed to the semi-finals from which the winners then went on to the final at
Lord's which was held on 1 September 1973. The tournament was notable for Durham (then a minor county) defeating Yorkshire. In doing so, Durham became the first ever minor county to beat a first class county in this competition.
