Munich Cricket Club

Heart of Munich Cricket, in the heart of Munich.

With very few locations to play the second most popular sport in the world, we have had the continued privilege of playing at the most prestigious location in Munich to share the excitement with the rapidly growing following of adults and children.

Since 1982, this opportunity enables MCC to represent Munich across the Bavarian Bundesliga on Saturdays and Sundays.

About

Who are we?

Established in 1982, the Munich Cricket Club (MCC) is one of Germany’s oldest and most established cricket clubs. For over four decades, we have been a proud standard-bearer for the game and its traditions in the heart of Munich.

What started as a small group of enthusiasts has grown into a vibrant, international community. Whether we are competing in the Bayerischer Cricket Verband (BCV) leagues, touring international teams or hosting social matches under the Bavarian sun, the MCC remains dedicated to the “Spirit of Cricket.”

Winning, With a Side of Refreshment

At MCC, we believe that cricket is as much about the social bond as it is about the scoreboard. While we play to win—fielding competitive teams in both T20 and 40-over formats—we never lose sight of the fun. “Winning has its place, but our Chairman also ensures that refreshments are always plentiful and the atmosphere is always welcoming.”

From our legendary post-match “conditioning” sessions at the Chinese Tower beer garden to our annual international tours (recent stops include London, Malta, and Rome), we are a club that enjoys each other’s company as much as a well-timed cover drive.

Why Join Us?

  • Inclusive Community: We welcome players of all nationalities, backgrounds, and skill levels—from seasoned veterans to those picking up a bat for the first time.
  • Premier Facilities: Our home ground, the Hirschanger, is located in the beautiful English Garden (Himmelreichstr. 5), offering one of the most scenic places to play cricket in Europe.
  • Year-Round Cricket: We don’t stop when the temperature drops. Our winter season features regular indoor training sessions to keep our skills sharp for the summer.
  • Social Calendar: Beyond the boundary, we host regular social events, club dinners, and family-friendly gatherings.

Ground

Are you searching for a cricket ground in Munich? Whether you’re a visiting player, a local enthusiast, or just curious about where the Bavarian cricket community plays, the Munich Cricket Club (MCC) home ground is the premier venue for the sport in the region.

Our ground is located in the heart of the city, offering easy access for everyone in Munich, Germany. We take immense pride in maintaining a pristine playing surface that meets the high standards of league cricket and provides a beautiful backdrop for a summer’s day.

Getting to the Munich Cricket Club Ground

The ‘Hirschanger’ ground is located at the south-east corner of the English Garden (Himmelreichstr 5.).

It is a 5 minute walk away from the Chinese tower beer garden, or 10 minutes walk (north) from the Lehel U-Bahn station (U4/U5).

The nearest tram stop is at Paradiesstrasse, opposite the ground (tram 17 direction Effnerplatz).

Paid street parking is available but rather limited. Try Lerchenfeldstrasse, Seeaustrasse or Himbselstrasse. You’ll need to feed the meters on Saturdays, too. (But for Sundays and public holidays you’d be off the hook. But that doesn’t really matter as we only play on Saturdays)

Training of the left elbow then resumes after nets at Fräulein GrĂĽneis or in the Chinese Tower beer garden just up the road – with the obligatory Friday evening mass or 3.  Until stumps are drawn when darkness and total lack of sobriety prevails. Excellent pre-match conditioning guaranteed.
