The National Cricket League (NCL) was established with a vision to bring the excitement of cricket to new audiences while fostering a positive and lasting impact within communities. We are immensely proud of what we have achieved—creating a league that captivates fans, unites communities, and introduces innovative formats that redefine how the game is experienced.
Our first year was a massive success, underscoring the growing passion for cricket in the United States and beyond. Our ‘NCL Cricket’ app saw 1.1 million downloads, and through our players and mentors’ platforms, we collectively reached over a hundred million fans on social media. Through partnerships with top global broadcasters, we brought the excitement of the NCL to audiences in 120 countries, amplifying the league’s global presence and solidifying our position as a premier cricket league in the United States and on the world stage.
Additionally, in collaboration with USA Cricket, the NCL proudly sponsored the establishment of the Collegiate Cricket League, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to uniting and elevating cricket clubs to varsity sports at leading universities across the United States. This initiative creates a pipeline to the professional level while ensuring that ‘Team USA’ Cricket has a robust talent development system to sustain success for years to come.
Through our collaborative efforts and strong support from the new leadership of the International Cricket Council, USA Cricket, legendary players, and the unwavering enthusiasm of our fans, we are shaping a new era for cricket in the United States. This journey is not just about cricket; it’s about nurturing young talent, embracing inclusivity, and celebrating the shared spirit of sportsmanship.
We are thrilled to announce that next year’s tournament dates will soon be revealed, and we look forward to delivering more unforgettable cricket experiences to our fans and supporters.
Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. Together, we are building a future where cricket thrives in the United States.
Sincerely,
National Cricket League USA
