Cheshire County Cricket Club was established on 29 September 1908. Though a previous incarnation of the club had played in the 1895 Minor Counties Championship, the club in its current form has since played minor counties cricket from 1909 and played List A cricket from 1964 to 2004, using a different number of home grounds during that time. Their first home minor counties fixture in 1895 was against Staffordshire at Cale Green, Stockport, while their first List A match came 68 years later against Surrey in the 1964 Gillette Cup at the Ellerman Lines Cricket Ground, Hoylake.
