A practical guide to cricket in Prague and the Czech Republic

Cricket is a young sport in the Czech Republic. The first recorded match in the country was played in 1997, the year Prague Cricket Club, the first team in the country, was founded.^[2,4]

The Czech Cricket Union (Českomoravský kriketový svaz) was formed in 2000 and joined the International Cricket Council the same year. It has been an ICC Associate Member since 2017 and is also a member of ICC Europe.^[1,3,2]

In 2012 the union opened Vinoř Cricket Ground in Prague, the first ground in the country built for cricket. A second field followed in 2014. For many years the game was played mainly by expatriates in Prague, which is why the Kriketová akademie ČR was set up to bring more young and Czech-speaking players into the sport.^[5,12]

The Czech Cricket Union runs the national club competitions. A season usually includes league cricket in several divisions, a T10 league with ten-over matches and, in winter, an indoor league. Formats and the number of divisions can change from season to season, so check the union for the current set-up.^[2,14]

In 2026, for example, Prague Spartans Cricket Club entered three squads in Divisions 1, 2 and 3 and also played the ČMKS T10.

Most clubs are based in Prague. Outside the capital there are clubs in Brno, Olomouc and České Budějovice, among others.^[2,11]
