The 1976 Benson & Hedges Cup was the fifth competing of cricket’s Benson & Hedges Cup. The competition was won by Kent County Cricket Club. Compared with the previous year, the groups were no longer organised on a regional basis, and the minor counties were divided east-west rather than north-south.
