Glamorgan County Cricket Club, known as Criced Morgannwg in Welsh, is a first-class county club within the cricket structure of England and Wales. It represents the historic county of Glamorgan. Established in 1888, Glamorgan initially held minor status and was a prominent member of the early Minor Counties Championship before the First World War.

In 1921, Glamorgan joined the prestigious County Championship and obtained first-class status. Since then, they have participated in all top-level domestic cricket competitions in England and Wales. As the only Welsh first-class cricket club, Glamorgan has achieved notable successes. They have clinched the English County Championship three times, triumphing in 1948, 1969, and 1997. Additionally, Glamorgan has triumphed over international teams from all Test-playing nations, including two consecutive victories against Australia in 1964 and 1968.

Glamorgan's limited overs team, known simply as Glamorgan, dons blue and yellow colours. The club's home ground is Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, situated on the banks of the River Taff. While most home games are played here, matches have occasionally been hosted in Swansea, Colwyn Bay, and Cresselly, despite the latter two towns being located in Denbighshire and Pembrokeshire, respectively.

Club History Over the Last 100 Years:

1920s: First-Class Dreams Resurrected The 1920s began optimistically for South Wales as Glamorgan resumed in the Minor County Championship. The successful campaign for elevation into first-class cricket led to Glamorgan being awarded first-class status in 1921.

1930s: Challenges under Turnbull After the difficult 1920s, Glamorgan faced financial challenges in the 1930s. Despite the club's deficit, they persevered, and Maurice Turnbull's leadership during this period was crucial, though tragically, his career ended with his death during World War II.

1940s: Tragedy to Triumph The outbreak of World War II halted Glamorgan's progress and tragically ended Maurice Turnbull's career. In the 1940s, under Wilf Wooller's leadership, Glamorgan consolidated their position, building on their 1948 County Championship win.

1950s: Wooller's Leadership Under Wilf Wooller's dynamic leadership, the 1950s saw Glamorgan maintain their reputation as one of the country's finest fielding teams, consolidating their success from the previous decade.

1960s: Remarkable Success The 1960s marked one of Glamorgan CCC's most successful decades, with victories in the County Championship and notable wins over the Australian tourists. Despite different captains, Wilf Wooller remained the guiding force behind the club.

1970s: First Trip to Lords In the 1970s, Glamorgan continued their success, ending the 1970 season as runners-up. Tony Lewis' captaincy and individual achievements, like Alan Jones playing for England at Lord's, marked this period.

1980s: Centenary Year and Rebuilding The 1980s saw Glamorgan rebuilding and attracting top-class international cricketers, contributing to their success in Championship and one-day competitions.

1990s: Championship and One-Day Titles The 1990s brought further success as Glamorgan secured titles in both the Championship and one-day competitions, building on the foundation laid in the previous decade.

2000s: One-Day Titles and Test Match The first decade of the 21st century witnessed Glamorgan's triumphs in one-day competitions and the hosting of a Test Match at Sophia Gardens after the ground's redevelopment.

2010s: Continued Success The success of the Ashes Test in 2009 set the stage for more Test Matches and high-profile matches at Glamorgan's headquarters in the 2010s, making Wales proud.
