Carisbrook Dunedin Cricket Club

conception. The current Dunedin Club was founded in 1894 however the name is of historical significance to cricket in the province as it was the name chosen for the first club formed in Otago in 1848. A second attempt to establish a club occurred with the gathering of a team to play a touring English side in 1864 was short-lived. These along with one other attempt to form a club using the name Dunedin occurred until eventually creating the existing club in 1894 out of the remnants of the previous club and the Warehousemen. Now the club fields four senior teams in the Dunedin Cricket Association competition and a number of junior teams as well. The club is based at Tonga Park with two grass and two artificial pitches which enables us to play cricket at home all season long. The club prides itself on a good competitive atmosphere as well as a great social scene for guys to enjoy themselves on and off the field.
