Gentlemen v Players was a long-running series of English first-class cricket matches. Two matches were played in 1806, but the fixture was not played again until 1819, and thereafter, it was played until 1962, typically twice each summer (though sometimes thrice or four times) except for in 1826, 1828, 1915-1918 (due to World War I) and 1940-1945 (due to World War II).
