Rickmansworth Cricket Club has opened its membership for the 2026 season, introducing updated fees and an expanded programme for its youth and women’s sections. Based in Hertfordshire at Park Road, the club is encouraging new and existing members to sign up online at membermojo.co.uk/rickmansworthcc ahead of the start of the season in April.
As one of the oldest clubs in the world, founded in 1787, the organisation has grown to support more than 200 members. The club currently fields six adult teams, including five Saturday league sides, alongside a junior section that consists of 11 boys teams and 5 girls teams. To support player development, youth members from Year 5 upwards receive 30-minute one-to-one coaching sessions as part of their membership.
The club is seeing significant growth in its female sections. The girls’ programme, established in 2020, has grown to include 54 young athletes. Following a successful 2025 season where the under-9 and under-11 teams won their respective leagues, the club plans to launch under-13 and under-15 girls teams in 2026. Additionally, the club intends to field a women’s team in league cricket for the first time in its history.
For the 2026 season, membership fees are set at £140 for adult men and £105 for students. The ladies section membership is priced at £50. For youth members, fees are tiered by school year, ranging from £70 for those in years 1 and 2, up to £125 for older age groups. These updates come as the club continues to build on its recent successes, including a promotion to Division 3A of the SHPCL in 2021.
Participation in the sport continues to rise nationally, with the England and Wales Cricket Board reporting the creation of 1,000 new women’s and girls’ cricket teams across the country in 2024.
