About AUCC

The Club

Formed in 1907, Adelaide University Cricket Club (“AUCC”) has a proud history as one of the longest established Clubs of the South Australian Cricket Association (“SACA”), the highest level of cricket in SA.

 

AUCC field five teams (4 mens & 1 womens) in SACA Premier Cricket, five teams (4 mens & 1 womens) teams in the Adelaide Turf Cricket Competition (“ATCA”), 3 men's veterans cricket teams, 1 SACA Super Cricket team. We have teams to suit any level of cricketer, whether you are an aspiring 1st Grade or representative cricketer or someone who simply plays for the love of the game.

 

Although we are a University Cricket Club, our players come from all walks of life, not all are students. We are an ‘open club’ that welcomes players from all over the world, whether they are students or not.  We have players who joined the club as under graduates and now occupy positions on the club committee, or turn out for one of the many teams that AUCC field each week. We have an alumnus of former players that have represented the club at state and international level and it is our stated aim to develop players to play at those levels.  

 

Our home ground is the beautiful University Oval within the beautiful Adelaide Parklands close to the CBD and our training and match facilities are second to none.
