The season breaks during the Christmas school holidays. ​The Auckland Cricket Playing Dates can be found on their website (please note, these are still to be confirmed for the upcoming 2025/26 season).
Teams in Girls U9 will play in an Internal Club Competition which will be scheduled at Colin Maiden Park.
Teams in Girls U11-U16 will play against other teams in Auckland Cricket Association (ACA). Games are scheduled home and away across the city. When playing a 'home' game ACA will schedule the match as close to AUCC as possible.
Teams are traditionally expected to practice once a week for 45-60 minutes. The Club is reliant on volunteer support to coach and manage these teams.
