YOUTH CRICKET

College Sport

The majority of youth cricketers play for their school throughout their secondary school years. These competitions are administered by College Sport Auckland and teams are entered through the Secondary Schools. Boys games are played on Saturdays (AM or PM depending on the grade), and Girls games are played on Wednesday afternoons during Term 1 and Term 4.

For more information on secondary school cricket, visit the College Sport Auckland website or contact your school’s Sports Department.


​​​​​​​Club Youth Grades

Auckland Cricket also offers Youth grades from U15 – U17 in the formats below. Grades are enjoyable and inclusive for all players. The season runs from November to end March, with a 6-7 week break over Christmas.  Note, girls can play cricket for both club and school as games are played on different days.
