Cumberland County Cricket Club


Cumberland County Cricket Club is one of twenty minor county clubs within the domestic cricket structure of England and Wales. It represents the historic counties of Cumberland and Westmorland and, therefore, the ceremonial county of Cumbria.

The team is currently a member of the Minor Counties Championship Eastern Division and plays in the MCCA Knockout Trophy. Cumberland played List A matches occasionally from 1984 until 2004 but is not classified as a List A team per se.

The club is based at the Edenside Ground, Carlisle and also plays matches around Cumbria at various places including Workington, Penrith, Netherfield Cricket Club Ground in Kendal and Barrow-in-Furness. Carlisle, Workington and Penrith are all in the traditional county of Cumberland; Kendal is in the traditional county of Westmorland. Barrow, however, is traditionally in the Furness district of Lancashire. The club actually represents the administrative county of Cumbria, which was created in 1974 by combining the traditional counties of Cumberland and Westmorland along with Furness and a small part of north west Yorkshire.
