The 1995 Benson & Hedges Cup was the twenty-fourth edition of cricket's Benson & Hedges Cup. It was an English limited overs county cricket tournament which was held between 23 April and 15 July 1995.[3]
It had been agreed before the close of the 1994 season that the Benson & Hedges Cup would revert to a zonal system, having been a knockout tournament for the 1993 and 1994 tournaments.[4] Ireland, having entered the tournament for the first time in 1994, retained their place, meaning there were 22 teams.
The competition was won by Lancashire County Cricket Club for a record third time, defeating Kent County Cricket Club by 35 runs in the final at Lord's on 15 July 1995.
