Founded in 1824 Haverfordwest Cricket Club is the oldest Cricket Club in Wales.

The first ground was on the “Old Race Course” and it is recorded “It is ordered that John Higgon, Esquire, and other gentlemen of the Cricket Club be allowed to level a spot of ground within the ring of the Race Course for the purpose of forming a Cricket Ground”. 18^th January 1839

In 1977 the new Club house was officially opened and in 1982 the extension was officially opened making the Club House what it is today.  

Since 1946 there have been 28 different captains with S.E.R. Williams and S.R. James, both holding the post seven times.  

The Cricket Club now boasts 4 senior men’s teams, 4 junior teams and 1 ladies team.  

There have been some great performances for the Club. In the recent past the most memorable was a record 1^st XI opening partnership of 229 runs v Cresselly on the 22^nd May 1999 . The batsmen were J. Twigg and A. Phillips. They beat the existing record thought to be a stand of 180 runs by Wally Staley and Bernard Jones, which was achieved in the 1930s.

With the number of players and the youth policy, the future of Haverfordwest Cricket Club looks very bright.
