About Us

Founded in 1871, Rainhill Cricket Club is a friendly, inclusive community-focused club in Rainhill, in the borough of St Helens. For a century and a half Rainhill CC has been a focal point for community sporting development and has a long tradition of nurturing cricketers of all abilities to be the best they can be. 

​Our 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th teams play in the Liverpool and District Cricket Competition. We have a thriving junior section with teams from under-9s to under-18s, as well as women's and girls' teams. While our competitive teams are focused on excellence, the club also runs a recreational team for those who prefer to play friendly cricket and a Last Man Stands team that plays mid-week. As a club we want to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy the game of cricket, whether you're competitively minded or simply interested in social games.

​

We adopt an inclusive approach to cricket and everyone is genuinely welcome. In 2022 we became an ECB Disability Cricket Champion Club. People of all ages play for us - our youngest player is 6 and our oldest is over 80. We are keen to welcome everyone - of whatever age, ethnicity, gender, orientation or religion - who wants to play the game. We are proud of the diversity of our membership and the range of cricketing experiences we are able to provide.

​

Quality coaching is provided at all levels by qualified personnel. The club runs cricket camps for young people during the summer in addition to taking part in the ECB's All Stars Cricket and Dynamos initiatives. Rainhill CC has ECB Clubmark status and was reaccredited in 2022.

​

Like all cricket clubs, we depend on the support of volunteers and our local community, The club has developed strong partnerships with local schools, businesses, community organisations and other local sports clubs. Along with Rainhill Bowling Club and Rainhill United Junior Football Club we are members of the Rainhill Recreation Club.
