Welcome to Abergavenny Cricket Club

The club, established in 1834, is one of the oldest clubs in the Country. Located in the small market town of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, the club competes in the South Wales Premier League and the South East Wales Cricket League.

The 2024 season saw the 1st team gain promotion and now proudly represent the club in Premier Division 1, partnered with Crickhowell CC, the club runs three other senior teams catering to all levels of abilities.

We are extremely proud of both our grounds, with the 1st and 2nd teams playing at Avenue Road, Abergavenny, and the 3rd and 4th teams at the delightful Castle Ground, Crickhowell. Through the season, the club will host a number of top-class representative matches. Glamorgan County Cricket Club and Wales National County Cricket Club have fixtures at Avenue Road, Abergavenny.

The club also has a thriving youth cricket academy, offering a safe and fun environment in which to develop the stars of the future. Many of our senior players have been developed via the academy, with a number going on to enjoy successful careers in first-class cricket.

As well as cricket, the club offers a fantastic clubhouse with licenced bars, plenty of parking spaces, and indoor and outdoor seating. With the backdrop of the Black Mountains, it has often been described as the best beer garden in Wales. The club’s facilities are available for hire for all types of events.

A message from the Chairman

“As the Chairman of Abergavenny Cricket Club, I bid you a very warm welcome to a cricket club that we believe is on the threshold of achieving great things again, on and off the cricket field. We intend to remain at the heart of our community and would like to extend an invitation to anyone interested in watching or playing the game or just joining us for post-match refreshment! I also hope that we can gain a reputation for playing the game in a competitive but fair manner and demonstrate to our younger members the sheer pleasure and joy that can be achieved by playing this wonderful game. I look forward to meeting you at Avenue Road.
