Albion Cricket Club 

Albion Cricket Club (Dunedin)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Location: Corner of Marlow Street and Royal Crescent, Musselburgh, Dunedin, New Zealand

Founded in 1862, Albion Cricket Club is reputedly the oldest continuously existing club in New Zealand and Australia.

In 2013, Albion stalwart Warwick Larkins, convener of the 150th celebrations, enquired in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide and found:

Melbourne Cricket Club [founded in 1838] is older than us, but no-one knew whether they had been continuous or not.

— Warwick Larkins
