With the exception of Tring Park who have remained in the Home Counties Premier Cricket League, the Hertfordshire clubs now take part in the Hertfordshire Cricket League.
The Division One teams for 2020 were intended to be: Aston Rowant, Banbury, Buckingham Town, Datchet, Finchampstead, Henley, High Wycombe, Oxford, Thame Town, and Tring Park. The 2020 competition was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A replacement competition was organised for the later part of the season when cricket again became possible, but with the winners not to be regarded as official league champions.
