Earliest cricket

The earliest known reference to cricket in the county is the Nottingham Cricket Club v Sheffield Cricket Club match on the Forest Racecourse at Nottingham on Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 August 1771. The outcome of the game was "not determined on account of a dispute having arisen by one of the Sheffield players being jostled"! The match is the first important inter-county match involving teams from either Nottinghamshire or Yorkshire

Yorkshire County Cricket Club

.

This match involved the old Nottingham town club which continued to play first-class cricket into the 19th century.

For information about first-class cricket in the county before the formation of Notts CCC, see : Nottingham Cricket Club

Origin of club

Nottinghamshire as a county team, played its first inter-county match versus Sussex at Brown's Ground, Brighton on 27, 28 & 29 August 1835. Nottinghamshire was recognised as a first-class county team, rather than a town club team, from 1835 but it is doubtful if the organisation at this time was a formally constituted club.

The formal creation of Nottinghamshire CCC was enacted in March or April 1841 (the exact date has been lost).
