The Geelong Cricket Association is the main cricket organisation in the Geelong area. It is affiliate with Cricket Victoria. It currently has 37 teams competing in 4 divisions as well as junior competitions.
History The Geelong Cricket Association was first formed in 1896 with six foundation clubs Capulets, Clarendon, Geelong, Magpies, Non Descripts and Yarra Street Wesleyans. Also successful to begin with the competition began to struggle and was forced to disband in 1913.
In 1928 the Geelong Cricket Association was reformed with six new clubs Geelong City, Geelong Footballers, Geelong West, Newtown & Chilwell, North Geelong and South Geelong forming the new competition.
As of today the competition runs 4 divisions with 8 teams in each division. These 8 sides then play each other twice in the one day format and then once in the two day format, once home once away.
In the 2009/10 season the GCA also introduced a Twenty-20 competition spanning all divisions. North Geelong have currently won the last 2 seasons we have played.
The most successful GCA club has been Newtown & Chilwell who have won 20 Division One 1st XI premierships,theyre being closely followed by North Geelong who now have 17.
North Geelong are the current reigning Division 1 premiers, winning a record 7 premierships in a row. They have now taken over Newtown and Chillwell's 6 Premierships in the late 70s and early 80s. They will look to continue that record in 2026/27, whilst Newtown enter Division 2 for the first time on record.
