Lingfield Cricket Club, based in Lingfield, Surrey, is one of the oldest cricket clubs in the world with the earliest recorded match being against London on the 18th June 1739[1]

Lingfield CC is a Surrey Focus Club and was only the fourth club in Surrey to become ECB Clubmark accredited [2]

The club has 3 grounds, the main ground at Godstone Road and two further grounds, one in Newchapel and one in Felcourt. In 2002 Lingfield CC hosted the first ever NatWest CricketForce day, an event attended by, amongst many others, Surrey and England star Mark Ramprakash and England Women's Caroline Atkins.
