Suffolk County Cricket Club was originally established on 27 July 1864, and competed in the Minor Counties Championship from 1904 to 1914. The present club was founded in August 1932, and has played minor counties cricket from 1934, as well as playing in List A cricket from 1966 to 2005, using a different number of home grounds during that time.
