Welcome to Ibiza Cricket Club

WHEN THINKING ABOUT IBIZA, IMAGES OF SUN, SEA AND CLUBS COME TO MIND, BUT CRICKET? HARDLY, BUT THANKS TO A SMALL GROUP OF ENTHUSIASTIC CRICKET LOVERS AND BRITISH RESIDENTS, FRIENDLY MATCHES WERE PLAYED AGAINST TOURING SIDES FROM THE UK (SUCH AS THE JACK HYAMS XI) IN THE EARLY 1980S AT THE PARCHED GOAT PATCH POPULARLY CALLED THE “ES CANAR OVAL”. EVENTUALLY, THIS REGULAR GROUP OF PLAYERS, LED BY DESMOND KING AND ROY CHARLTON DECIDED TO ESTABLISH THE IBIZA CRICKET CLUB OFFICIALLY IN 1986, APPROPRIATELY SHARING SOME BEERS AT THE WELL KNOWN SANDY’S BAR IN SANTA EULARIA.

The Ibiza Cricket Club, (the ICC) , is delighted to announce the opening of our new pitch at San Lorenzo, in Northern Ibiza. We are lucky enough to be using the old Polo club, which is a fantastic place to play cricket. The new ground has a purpose built batting mat, a decent size outfield, & a fabulous space for spectators & fans. Ibiza Cricket Club hopes to provide a perfect destination for all manner of touring sides.

Ibiza Cricket Club is celebrating the opening of the new pitch at San Lorenzo with a “Wednesday Ibiza T20 Blast” open competition , every Wednesday 630-830pm. Please feel free to come for a short game on a Wednesday – even if you are a passing tourist. We are confident that once people play at the Ibiza Cricket pitch, they will return, ideally with a whole team to play us !

Ibiza is well known for its nightlife & it’s crazy summer parties, but that impression is just scratching the surface of this amazing island.
Ibiza is a beautiful & wild island – with an amazing coastline, & great restaurants& with so many other activities on your doorstep – such as kayaking, walking, sailing. Combining cricket & a fabulous short break away from home would be a wonderful way to explore Ibiza.

Ibiza Cricket Club is now a core of 40+ active playing members, who are actively recruiting new players. We can field 2 different teams for a Saturday & a Sunday game for our visiting opponents.
