In March 2012, Boycott was elected President of Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
Elected at an annual meeting, he gained 91.09% of the vote.
The election came on the back of Yorkshire's relegation from the first to the second division of the County Championship, the reversal of which Boycott targeted immediately upon taking up the post.
He remarked to the media that "The only thing that really matters to the membership is that Yorkshire do well in Championship cricket."
His tenure also presided over the club's 150th anniversary in 2013.
In February 2014, it was revealed that former Test umpire and Yorkshire player Dickie Bird would replace Boycott.

In March 2013, Boycott and his partner Rachael Swinglehurst purchased the Grade II listed Boston Hall in Boston Spa, West Yorkshire, citing a desire to be closer to family, friends, and Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
They later married, and have a daughter.
Later in 2014 he released a book entitled Geoffrey Boycott: The Corridor of Certainty with Simon & Schuster.
ESPNcricinfo reviewed the piece in October, commenting on Boycott's more amiable personality since his recovery from cancer: "we have a much more rounded and nuanced book, full of self-awareness and a willingness, even eagerness, to acknowledge errors, failings and regrets... This a complex, driven man, whom we all recognise and admire for his achievements, revealing aspects of his life and survival that have hitherto been kept close to his chest."
