About our club
Being the oldest club in Belgium, Royal Brussels Cricket Club’s origins can be traced back to 1866 in an original document, now in the MCC museum at Lord’s detailing the committee members, playing conditions, fees and ground in the “Bois de la Cambre”.
The club may have existed before 1866, certainly we know a cricket match between the Guards was played in Belgium at Enghien some 30 km from Brussels, before the Battle of Waterloo, attended by the Duke of Wellington.
We do not know the result, but when a match between the cricket section of the Brussels Sports Club and the Guards was played in 1965, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, and attended by the Duke and Duchess of Kent, that match ended in a draw.
The club also had tours, and the occasional weekend, in Southern England as well as playing the Standard club in Paris….
