Ages given as of the first day of Kent 's 1906 County Championship season , 14 May 1906 .
Kent County Cricket Club's 1906 season was the seventeenth season in which the county competed in the County Championship and saw the county win their first Championship title. Kent played 25 first-class cricket matches during the season, losing only four matches overall and only two matches in the 1906 County Championship. They finished equal on points with Yorkshire and Surrey but won the title on the percentage of finished matches won. Wisden considered that there was a general consensus Kent were the best county side of the year and that they had shown the most brilliant form, whilst The Guardian wrote that a more brilliant side it would be hard to imagine. The title was sealed with a final game victory by an innings against Hampshire, the team's twelfth successive victory. Two of the county's players, Arthur Fielder and Kenneth Hutchings were selected as Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1907 as a result of their performances during the season. The Championship victory was the first of four by Kent during the Golden Age of cricket in the years leading up to the First World War. It was celebrated by the club by the commissioning of a famous oil painting Kent vs Lancashire at Canterbury which now hangs in the Long Room in the Lord's Pavilion.
