About Hamilton Cricket Association

Serving cricket in Hamilton since 1899

Our History

Hamilton Cricket Association has been the heartbeat of cricket in the Waikato for over a century. Established in 1899, the association grew from a handful of passionate players on the banks of the Waikato River into one of New Zealand's most active regional cricket bodies.

Through the decades we have produced players who have gone on to represent New Zealand at the highest level, while remaining firmly committed to grassroots cricket for players of every age and ability.

Today we run competitions across senior, junior, women's, social, and twilight formats - welcoming thousands of players each season across Hamilton and the wider Waikato region.
