Who We Are
Everything Youth Cricket in America. One Place.
USA Youth Cricket is a volunteer-run guide to the game as it is actually played by young people in this country. We have been at this since 2009, back when finding a youth cricket program in America usually meant asking around at an adult club on a Saturday morning. That is still harder than it should be. We exist to make it easier.
We work alongside clubs, academies and training facilities rather than above them. We are a network of volunteers who give our time, energy and money to bring cricket closer to families, schools and communities across the country.
Our Vision
An America where every young cricketer has a place to begin in the game of cricket and a way to keep playing. Where talent is recognized and players can pursue their own ambitions—at school or college, in competitive cricket, or simply for the love of the game.
Our Mission
We make youth cricket in America easier to discover. Through independent coverage and practical guides, we showcase young players’ achievements and bring reliable information about cricket opportunities into one place, helping players and families choose where to begin and what comes next.
What We Do
Six jobs, done properly
List and verify
Youth tournaments, camps, academies, clubs, school programs and college fixtures, nationwide.
Publish the news
USA age-group cricket, the college game, girls cricket and the road to LA28.
Explain the pathway
How it works, from a first Saturday session through to representative cricket.
Give organizers reach
A platform for local organizers to reach families beyond their own mailing list.
Point to local coaching
Families are pointed toward the coaching that already exists near them, in whichever state they live.
Get children outdoors
Encourage active, outdoor sport for children who may never have picked up a bat.
Every listing is checked for dates, location, age groups and how to register. If we cannot verify it, we do not publish it.
What We Are Not
We are not a governing body or a league
We do not organize or sanction competitions, select teams, certify coaches or set rules. That work belongs to USA Cricket, Major League Cricket, Minor League Cricket, tournament organizers, and the clubs and academies themselves. We are not affiliated with any of them. Where it matters, we point you to them.
Cricket in America
Not starting. Resuming.
Youth cricket is one of the fastest-growing corners of American sport. Families from cricket-playing nations across South Asia, the Caribbean, Africa, Britain and Australasia have brought the game with them, and a new generation is taking it up in clubs, academies and recreation programs from California to the Carolinas.
The 2024 T20 World Cup, co-hosted on American soil, put the sport in front of a far wider audience. Major League Cricket has since given young players professional teams to follow within driving distance of a growing number of cities. And in July 2028, cricket returns to the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, where the minimum athlete age is 15 — which means a child in a Saturday session today is already inside the window.
The first official international cricket match — and the first official international fixture in any sport — was played between the United States and Canada from 24 to 26 September, at the St George’s Cricket Club ground in Manhattan, near what is now 30th Street and Broadway. Canada won by 23 runs.
English sides toured the USA and Canada after each of these seasons.
