National League

Cricket is one of 8 sports in the BUCS league and knockout programme that has National Leagues sitting at the top of the programme, ensuring the best teams from the programme compete in high quality matches during the outdoor cricket season.

Founded in 2016-17, and supported by the previous MCCU/UCCE programme, the Cricket National League contains the 8 best teams from across the UK. Unique to Cricket, some institutions field localised combined teams based on historic funding from the MCC/ECB creating University Centres of Cricketing Excellence (UCCE), as well as some of these being based at one institution.

Following the league season the top 4 teams compete in the National Championship knockout while the 8th placed team competes in a playoff to retain their status in the National League.
