Cricket Tasmania

What Cricket Tasmania does

Cricket Tasmania is the state governing body for cricket in Tasmania, Australia. Founded in 1906 and headquartered at Bellerive Oval (commercially branded Ninja Stadium) in Hobart, the organization oversees the sport across Tasmania from grassroots community participation through to elite professional franchises. It operates three core product lines: the Tasmanian Tigers state teams that compete in the Sheffield Shield, One-Day Cup and Women's National Cricket League (WNCL); the Hobart Hurricanes, the state's Big Bash League (BBL) and Women's BBL (WBBL) franchise; and the Cricket Tasmania Premier League, a club competition with 8 clubs spanning multiple men's and women's grades. Approximately 15 affiliate community clubs and a regional network of Community Cricket Managers support grassroots development through the Hurricanes Smash Series, school holiday programs and coaching pathways.

The organization does not develop proprietary software; its product surface consists of live cricket entertainment, talent development programs and membership products. Revenue is generated from four primary streams: annual membership subscriptions (Adult $325, Family of 4 $680, Junior $90, Concession $325, plus the $210 Associate add-on and the premium Ponting Club VIP); matchday ticket sales via Ticketek and Ticketmaster including international matches and finals; commercial sponsorships including Wilson Homes (CTPL naming rights) and other major and minor partners; and club affiliation fees administered alongside the Australian Cricket Infrastructure Fund, which distributes minor ($500–$15,000) and major ($15,001–$40,000) grants.

Distribution is anchored at Ninja Stadium and supported by a digital presence spanning the official website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube and email newsletters, with an online membership portal running through Ticketmaster. The organization employs 51–100 staff and is led by CEO Dominic Baker; the executive team comprises General Managers for High Performance, Community Cricket, Partnerships & Infrastructure, Business Services, Marketing & Communications, and Venue Operations, with governance provided by a board chaired by Tim Scott.
