Formed in 1907, The Adelaide University Cricket Club has a proud history as one of the longest established Clubs of the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA), the highest level of cricket in SA.
AUCC also has teams competing in the Adelaide Turf Cricket Competition (ATCA), Women’s SACA 2nd grade T20 and One Day Team, and one ATCA Women’s Development team. We have a level to suit any level of cricketer; whether you are an aspiring 1st Grade or representative cricketer, a club ’weekend warrior’, or someone taking their first steps in the game, we have a place for you at AUCC.
Although we are a University Cricket Club, our players come from all walks of life, not all are students. We are an ‘open club’ that welcomes players from all over the world, whether they are students or not.
In 2019-20 we developed a new initiative - AU Rock Up Cricket - designed specifically for players new to the sport or for those not yet available to commit fully to competitive cricket. This program introduces cricket coaching and T20 competition in the form of SACA Super Cricket.
Each year, AUCC players and AU students represent the Vice-Chancellor’s XI in a preseason one-day intervarsity (IV) tournament held at the University of Queensland. Traditionally, we have also played three-day matches against the Sydney University and Melbourne University Cricket Clubs.
All home games are played at our home ground, University Oval, within the Adelaide Parklands.
