There are records of cricket being played in the Uxbridge area as far back as 1735, however the official founding date of Uxbridge Cricket Club is 1789.
The first games were played on the Uxbridge Moor area of the town, later moving to Uxbridge Common. In 1858 the Club moved again, to a field behind the eastern end of the High Street and remained there until 1970 when the redevelopment of the town centre obliged the Club to seek a new home. The move to the present site, opposite Uxbridge Common, is a return to an old haunt.
At our current location we have two grounds, together with practice facilities as well as the usual changing and social facilities. There is also the opportunity to play other sports such as Bowls, Rugby, Squash, and Tennis.
For a number of years Middlesex County Cricket Club played Championship and Cup matches at Uxbridge. In recent years the County team has moved out matches to Southgate Cricket Club, to the disappointment of local people. However, Middlesex CCC have now returned to Uxbridge to play the popular new Twenty / 20 format games.
The high points of Uxbridge cricket have been the winning of the Thames Valley Cricket League in 1982 followed by reaching the Final of the Evening Standard Challenge Trophy in 2000. More recently the Sunday First XI were entered into the Chess Valley League for the 2006 season, with promotion followed in 2007 by an undefeated run to the CVL Division 4 Championship, while the Second XI also eaned promotion in 2007 during their inaugural campaign.
Since 1989, Uxbridge has been playing in the Middlesex County League, the foremost league in the county.
