Leinster Cricket Club is an Irish cricket club which was founded in Rathgar in 1852.[1] The Dublin sports club now hosts tennis, squash, table tennis, bowls and cricket. The Leinster Sports Club complex is situated in the Observatory Lane ground, in the heart of Rathmines. The cricket section currently has eight men's teams, three women's sides and fifteen youth sides.
In 1860, Leinster hosted the first visit to Ireland by the All-England XI on the club's field in Lord Palmerston's demesne. The club also brought W. G. Grace to Ireland for the first time in 1873. In 1875 Ireland's rugby union team played its first home game at the cricket ground as Lansdowne Road was deemed unsuitable.[2]
Leinster hold the record for the most Leinster Senior League titles, with 23.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
