Risley Cricket Club is an amateur cricket club based in Risley, Derbyshire, with a history dating back to at least 1872.^[1][2]

The club's ground and pavilion 'The Club House' is located 200m up the track, off the Derby Road, behind Treetops Hospice on the south side of Risley, Derbyshire^[3] and the ground is rated by the DCCL as a Grade A ground.^[4]

It is not known when the club was established, but the earliest known record of cricket associated with the village of Risley is a reference in the Nottingham Journal on 12 September 1872, reporting a match between Risley and Sandiacre.^[2] The club's ground is currently south of the village, at the end of a track to a field behind the Treetops Hospice.^[3] Before this, the club led a peripatetic existence. The earliest known location for the club was a field next to All Saints' church, in the 1920s. By the 1930s, games took place behind the Blue Ball pub (now The Risley Park).^[1] After the Second World War, a Rev Hughes arranged for matches to be played on the Risley Hall Approved School ground, until the mid-1970s when they then moved onto a pitch on the Friesland School grounds. Between 1984 and 1988, home games were played at the former Draycott CC Hopwell Road ground, in Draycott,^[5] before returning to the Risley Hall School in the late-1980s. In the early 1990s the 1st XI team finished top of the LECA Evening League's Division 3, 2 and 1 in successive years (1991–93)^[2] shortly before moving onto the Treetops Hospice ground in 1994.^[1]

The club currently has two senior teams competing in the Derbyshire County Cricket League^[3] and a long-established junior training section that play competitive cricket in the Erewash Young Cricketers League.^[6]
