The Spirit of Cricket remains at the heart of the game, promoting fair play, respect and sportsmanship at every level.

Popularity of cricket

The European Cricket Council (ECC) was established in 1997 to replace the European Cricket Federation, which had grown from 14 to 37 member countries (as of 2006). Nine member countries are ICC associate members, 17 are affiliate members, and 11 are ICC prospective members.

The game continues to develop in popularity, particularly in the Baltics, with Estonia and Latvia both having their own international team and a slew of domestic clubs that help to grow cricket in their respective countries, with backing from the ICC, ECC, other cricket boards, and universities.

Each member nation in International cricket council has a national cricket board which regulates cricket matches played in its country, selects the national squad, and organizes home and away tours for the national team.

Cricket in Lithuania

Cricket in Lithuania has a history stretching back more than two decades. One of the earliest documented cricket events took place on 2 August 2005, when the British Embassy hosted a match at the Lithuanian Military Academy. Players from Lithuania and several other countries participated, marking an important early moment for cricket in the country.

Cricket development continued in the following years through earlier organizations, clubs and dedicated members of the cricket community. Their efforts helped establish the foundations for the sport and inspired a new generation of players and organizers.

Today, the Lithuania Cricket Federation (LCF) is building on this history by developing a structured and sustainable future for cricket in Lithuania. LCF organizes domestic competitions, supports clubs and players, participates in international tournaments, promotes grassroots and youth development, and works to make cricket accessible to communities across the country.

With an active cricket community and growing participation, our ambition is to establish cricket as a recognized and well-organized sport in Lithuania and create opportunities for future generations to represent Lithuanian cricket.
