In 2027 Canterbury Cricket celebrates 150 years since its formation in 1877. This milestone is a tribute to the players, volunteers, clubs and communities who have shaped our game and have kept cricket at the heart of Canterbury for generations.

It’s a chance to connect with people of all ages, share our love of the game and celebrate the past, present and future of cricket in Canterbury.
