Lima Cricket and Football Club

What Lima Cricket and Football Club does

Lima Cricket and Football Club is a private, non-profit civil association founded in 1859 in Lima, Peru, by British immigrants. The organization self-identifies as the oldest continuously operating football and cricket club in the Americas and operates as a closed, member-owned social and sporting institution governed by a board led by President Gustavo Zevallos Velarde. Its core customer base is its membership roll, with access and tenure conferring the primary entitlement to all club services.

The club's product surface spans participation in five sporting disciplines — cricket, football, hockey, bowls, and rugby — plus a broad on-site amenity stack: the Pub The Cricketers (F&B), a gym, sauna, peluquería, Biblioteca (BiblioCricket), Sala de Niños, Enfermería, and assigned lockers. Commercial operations layer on top of the member base through sports retail (Tienda del Club), external event and area rentals (Salones, Terraza Don Thurmer for birthdays, corporate events, and weddings), and a recently branded competitive cricket tournament (Premier League Lima Cricket) carrying Universal Assistance as title sponsor and Hiraoka as a facility sponsor.

The business model is a hybrid membership-plus-ancillary model: recurring member dues form the base, while F&B, locker rentals, retail, event rentals, and limited sponsorship income generate incremental yield on the owned San Miguel property at Calle Martín de Murúa 170. There is no evidence of technology platforms, digital distribution beyond a member intranet, or multi-site operations; the proposition is fundamentally a single-site private club optimizing a fixed physical asset.
