Another major first was Coca Cola & Dish Network becoming sponsors of American College Cricket – the first time major American companies had become involved in domestic cricket.
American College Cricket President Lloyd Jodah continues developing teams in universities all across USA & Canada,and new schools are being added regularly.
The regional Championships will take place this Fall, Sept through Nov (last year there were 7 regionals). More dates for those will be announced shortly.

28 teams from Canada & USA will participate in the 2012 National Championship plus this time an American College Cricket Alumni team might play as “Special Guests”, as well as possibly the return of the University of the West Indies.
More than 60 colleges are now members of American College Cricket and having tournaments is only a small part of what we do – its important to understand this if you wish to be a member.
We have been covered by the New York Times, Washington Post, Globe & Mail, LA Daily News, NY Daily News,Voice of America & more. We have been part of the historic Cricket Exhibition at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
