The 1897–98 Rugby Union County Championship was the tenth edition of England's premier rugby union club competition at the time.[1]

Northumberland won the competition for the first time defeating Midland Counties in the final. The Midlands team was weakened by the refusal of Leicester to release their players for the county team.[2] [3]
