The Cornwall Cricket Club Inc was formed in 1989 after the amalgamation of the Old Boys Hastings and the Whakatu Mahora Cricket Clubs. Both clubs have origins going back to 1901.
The amalgamation took place to provide one strong cricket club in Hastings. It is the only Premier Cricket Club in Hastings city.

The club is based at Cornwall Park, and it is here that we have our Pavilion. Built in 1996 this modern building is an asset to our club members, to the game of cricket and to the community of Hastings.

Some of our club members have achieved top level national honours. Mark Greatbatch, Ian Smith, Mitch McClenaghan,Carl Cachopa, and Andrew Penn in cricket and Taine Randell and Danny Lee in Rugby, with many other club members gaining New Zealand age group, National First Class - Central Districts, Hawke’s Bay and District Honours.

We take pride in our commitment as a club to nurture our young cricketers. Many talented cricketers have moved into a successful first class career.
