About the Club

At the Auckland University Cricket Club you will find a Club built on over 100 years of history and tradition that caters for all kinds of people, young and old, big and small, shy or bold. 

Attitude, enthusiasm, loyalty, a willingness to learn new skills and being part of the team, both on and off the field, are what really count at University.

Winning is important, or at least playing to win is, but success at University is not necessarily winning.  Success is to do with the manner in which the game is played, win or lose.  

Cricket is one of those games where a player can obtain satisfaction from many aspects of the game without necessarily being in a winning team or being a star player. 

An important catch which rids the opposition of its best batsman, a magnificent stop which prevents a boundary, a brief not-out innings which saves a match: all these can bring a glow to the team as a whole.  

There is a home at AUCC for everyone.

Cricket is primarily a team game, however, and although individuals may play major roles in winning a match, it is the combined efforts of the whole team which decides the outcome .... this team philosophy underpins everything we stand for at the University Cricket Club.

To everybody associated with University Cricket ... enjoy our fine facilities at Colin Maiden Park, remember you are representing a proud Club with 100 years of history, uphold the spirit and traditions of the game we love and have fun.

MAIDEN CENTURY’ CELEBRATES THE CENTENNIAL OF THE AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY CRICKET CLUB

University of Auckland graduate Campbell Burnes (MA Hons. in Classics) played both rugby and cricket to premier level for University.

Burnes has meticulously delved through numerous records and scorebooks and interviewed many of the characters and stalwarts of the Auckland University Cricket Club to produce a well-researched and highly readable history of the club’s maiden century.

Club members such as Jim Laker, John Sparling, Warren Stott, Mark Richardson, Emily Drumm and Ian Billcliff have gone on to play at the highest level.

Recounted are many of the triumphs the club has enjoyed amid the tribulations and its search for a place to call home. The Fingletoads, the professionals, and the burgeoning club…it’s all here.

Well written, superbly designed and illustrated, this is a book not only for cricket lovers but for all those who enjoy the tales of competition and the collegiality that derives from sport.


 This amazing 171 page book which includes photos of all current junior teams, records, and senior stats, is available for purchase for only $35.00

Copies of the book will be on sale during the junior club tournaments, and both Junior and Senior prizegiving, if you would like to order your copy online, please email admin@aucc.co.
