The Cumbria Cricket League, formerly the North Lancashire and Cumbria League, is an independent club cricket league for teams in Northern Lancashire and Cumbria, England.[1]
Other club cricket leagues in the North West of England include the Northern Premier Cricket League and the designated ECB Premier League Liverpool and District Cricket Competition as well as the independent Lancashire League and Central Lancashire League.
History
[edit]In 1892 when the strongest local teams formed the North Lancashire League, while in the same year The Furness and District Cricket was also created.
For the 2015 season, the league structure has changed, meaning there is now a four tier league structure rather than the previous 3 tier, and Division 3 has changed to 40 overs-a-side compared to 50 overs in the other leagues.
For the 2018 season, the league structure changed again, with Division 3 being abolished while the top divisions expanded to include up to 12 teams. Whitehaven 2nd's were the last winners of Division 3. Division 2 is now 40 overs-a-side. The league changed name to the Cumbria Cricket League from the North Lancashire and Cumbria League.
In 2023 a plan was under consideration to amalgamate the Cumbria Cricket League with the Westmorland League and the Eden Valley League.[2]
