rdf:langString Kent County Cricket Club's 1909 season was the twentieth season in which the County competed in the County Championship. Kent played 30 first-class cricket matches during the season, losing only two matches overall, and won their second Championship title. They finished clearly ahead of second place Lancashire in the 1909 County Championship with the previous years winners Yorkshire in third place. Two of the County's players Arthur Day and Douglas Carr were selected as Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1910 as a result of their performances during the season. Carr made his debut in first-class cricket during the season at the age of 37 and played in his only Test match in August. The Championship title was the second of four by Kent during the Golden Age of cricket in the years leading up to the First World War. It followed their first title in 1906, with the nucleus of the side unchanged from then. It was followed by their third title in 1910 and fourth in 1913.
