Affiliation

CLUB AFFILIATION CONFIRMATION FORM

INTRODUCTION

Affiliation is the formal process by which your Club becomes a recognised member of the regulated cricket community. 

By affiliating to Herefordshire Cricket Ltd you establish a relationship with us and, by extension, the England and Wales Cricket Board (“ECB”), that enables you to gain access to a whole host of benefits only available to affiliated clubs, such as access to a range of funding opportunities and entry to national competitions.

By affiliating you demonstrate a commitment to protecting the quality and integrity of the game through your acceptance of the regulatory jurisdiction of Herefordshire Cricket Ltd and the ECB; in return, we will provide you with ongoing support to help you manage the challenges that arise during the course of running a cricket club.  

Club Affiliation 2026
The way clubs affiliate with their Recreational Cricket Board is changing, introducing higher standards for governance, safety, and inclusion. This isn't just about compliance - it's about building a better future for your club and the game.
To help you every step of the way, we've created the Club Affiliation Toolkit. This collection of guides, templates, and practical resources will help you understand the new requirements, implement best practices, and ensure your club is ready to thrive.
