List of Royal Navy first-class cricketers
This is a list of cricketers who played first-class matches for the Royal Navy cricket team. The side played a total of 21 first-class matches between 1912 and 1929, most frequently playing the Army side which it met 14 times in top-level matches, all of which were played at Lord's. The side played the Royal Air Force three times in first-class matches between 1927 and 1929 and also played first-class matches against Cambridge University, MCC and, in 1927, against the touring New Zealanders.[1] Royal Navy cricket teams continue to play organised matches in the modern era, but none have held official status since 1929.[2]
A combined Army and Navy team played three first-class matches between 1910 and 1919[3] and the Combined Services side played 63 first-class matches between 1920 and 1964.[4] Players who appeared in first-class matches for those sides are not included on this list unless they also played for the Royal Navy in a first-class match.
