What USA Cricket does

USA Cricket is a non-profit national governing body for cricket in the United States, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado. Recognized by the International Cricket Council as an Associate Member, the organization serves as the sole sanctioned authority for domestic cricket governance and the official pathway to international competition, including participation rights for the LA28 Olympic Games. Its stakeholder base spans elite national team players, 200,000+ grassroots participants across 400+ leagues, affiliated clubs and leagues, women and girls players, and certified coaches and officials.

The organization operates an integrated platform comprising an official website (usacricket.org), a Membership Portal for individual and organizational sign-ups, a Player Registration System for elite pathways, a Match Center providing live scoring and scorecards, and a Zonal structure of eight regions split into Eastern and Western conferences for grassroots-to-high-performance administration. Revenue is generated through three primary streams: individual and organizational membership fees, domestic cricket sanctioning fees, and ICC funding for national team development and tournament participation.

USA Cricket's competitive position was strengthened by achieving ODI status in 2019 and winning the ICC Associate Member Men's Team Performance of the Year award in 2024 for its T20 World Cup performance, which included a historic victory against Pakistan. Recent years, however, have brought severe institutional stress: the ICC suspended USA Cricket's membership in September 2025 citing governance failures (with administration now overseen by an ICC Normalisation Committee), and in October 2025 the organization voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 financial reorganization. Commercial litigation with American Cricket Enterprises (ACE) further complicates operations.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Cricket South Africa: National governing body for cricket in South Africa. Comparable in mandate (national teams, domestic pathways, ICC membership) and is at a similar development stage as USA Cricket in expanding cricket's footprint in a non-traditional market.
• Cricket West Indies: Regional governing body for cricket in the Caribbean. Comparable as a multi-territory NGB with ICC Associate-style status and direct operational ties to USA Cricket (hosting preparation tours, shared player base) but operates across multiple Caribbean nations rather than a single country.
• New Zealand Cricket: National governing body for cricket in New Zealand. Comparable size and structure to USA Cricket (small population, ICC Full Member status, national team administration), and offers a useful reference for the scale of resources USA Cricket may need to reach sustainability.
• Cricket Australia: National governing body for cricket in Australia and one of the most established cricket NGBs globally. Directly comparable to USA Cricket in core mandate (governing domestic cricket, fielding national teams, administering pathways) but operates in a mature market with much greater scale and financial resources.
• Bangladesh Cricket Board: National governing body for cricket in Bangladesh. Comparable as a developing cricket nation with ICC membership, significant grassroots participation, and is pursuing international competitiveness — a relevant benchmark for USA Cricket's trajectory.
• England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB): National governing body for cricket in England and Wales, responsible for The Hundred, county cricket, and national teams. Closest functional peer to USA Cricket among Full Member cricket boards, with comparable structure of zones, pathways, and national selection committees.

Broad incumbents

• US Soccer Federation: National governing body for soccer in the United States and a USOPC-recognized NGB. Comparable in governance structure (Board, national teams, member associations) and in navigating the US Olympic recognition pathway that USA Cricket is currently pursuing.
• USA Basketball: USOPC-recognized NGB for basketball in the United States. Comparable as a US NGB structure that USA Cricket aspires to emulate, with established national team programs, commercial partnerships, and USOPC recognition.
• International Cricket Council (ICC): Global governing body for cricket and USA Cricket's parent affiliation. Not a direct competitor but a structural counterpart: USA Cricket is an ICC Associate Member, and the ICC's decisions on funding, suspension, and Olympic participation directly govern USA Cricket's operating environment.

Emerging players

• Caribbean Premier League: Professional T20 cricket league in the Caribbean that has hosted matches in Florida. Comparable to the Major League Cricket partnership ecosystem that USA Cricket relies on, and a regional peer in driving cricket's commercial development in the Americas.
