📜 United States Cricket Team History
Despite cricket not being a mainstream sport in the USA, the United States cricket team participates in various international competitions and has a rich history that reflects the sport's evolving status in the country.
Cricket has been played in the United States since the 18th century, with the first known match taking place in 1751. However, the US national team's journey began in earnest in 1844 with their first-ever international cricket match against Canada. Over the years, interest in cricket waned as baseball rose to prominence, but a recent cricketing resurgence in the US led to the country being named as joint-hosts of the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Participation in the ICC Trophy and strong performances in the ICC Americas Championship are among some of the USA's top cricketing achievements to date, but as interest in the sport stateside continues to grow, the national team will be hoping for even greater success in the future.
