Auckland Cricket is seeking applications from Directors with the relevant skills and experience to serve on our seven-member Board.

Auckland Cricket is responsible for the development and promotion of cricket across the Auckland region and is one of six Major Associations in New Zealand. Our operations encompass all aspects of the development of our grassroots game, through to our talent identification programme and up to our elite teams including the ACES and HEARTS.

We service a diverse population and have responsibility for a game that is changing rapidly. Prospective Directors will need to contribute meaningfully to setting and guiding the strategic direction of the organisation and possess excellent knowledge of the sporting environment within Auckland.

There are two positions to be filled. We have two Directors retiring from the Board. The Board requires a diverse range of skillsets to meet the varied demands of servicing cricket in Auckland, which is evaluated via a skills matrix.

Successful applicants will be part of a Board that is focused on delivering the strategy and will therefore require strong governance experience and understanding of their role as a Director. Auckland Cricket is committed to working towards Board diversity targets led by Sport NZ.

Please send a current CV and covering letter to Auckland Cricket CEO, Ian Francis – ifrancis@aucklandcricket.co.nz. A Board skills and competencies summary is available on request.

Applications close 5pm – Monday 14th Sept 2026

Please note that interviews for the positions will take place in the week commencing 28th September 2026.

If you have any questions regarding these positions please contact CEO Ian Francis, ifrancis@aucklandcricket.co.nz
