The earliest records of cricket in Jersey show that the game was played from the mid-1860s onwards.

Old+cricket+team.jpg — Some Jersey cricket trophies date back to 1921 and 1932 and are still being played for today.

1996 saw the formation of the Channel Islands Cricket Board which became part of the ECB. The development of cricket that took place during this period saw both Jersey and Guernsey seeking additional competition for its players. This was not available within the ECB and, with their blessing, membership of the ECC was sought and achieved in 2005.
