Derbyshire played twenty matches, of which eighteen were in the County Championship and the others against touring South Africans and Australians.
Samuel Cadman scored most runs, and had one of the team's two innings in the nineties.
Significant players who made their debut in the season were Richard Baggallay who went on to captain the side and Geoffrey Jackson whose death in World War I deprived the club of a useful player.
New players who had shorter careers were George Burnham and Albert Blount who each played five game in the 1912 season.
That was the extent of Burnham's career, but Blount reappeared in one more match fourteen years later.
