Czech Cricket Union (Template:Langx; ČMKS) is the official governing body of the sport of cricket in Czech Republic. Its current headquarters is in Prague, Czech Republic. Czech Cricket Union is the Czech Republic's representative at the International Cricket Council and is an associate member[1] and has been a member of that body since 2000. It is also a member of the ICC Europe (earlier the European Cricket Council).
History
The first cricket match in the Czech Republic was played in 1997, and the ČMKS was set up in 2000 to drive forward the development of the game. The ČMKS runs Domestic leagues and operates a cricket-dedicated facility at the Vinoř Cricket Ground, with two fields, which has been in operation since 2012.[2][3]
Their development partner, KAČR, delivers introduction to cricket programmes in Czech schools, runs soft ball and hard ball clubs and tournaments at U10, U12, U14 and U16 level for boys and girls.[4]
On June 8 to June 13, 2025, Prague's Vinoř Cricket Ground hosted the Central Europe Cup, an international Twenty cricket tournament organized by the Czech Cricket Union. This year's event features national teams from Austria, Norway, Gibraltar, and the Czech Republic competing in a round-robin format. The tournament aims to elevate the profile of cricket in Central Europe, attracting growing interest across the region.[5]
