Mowbray Cricket Club (MCC), also known as Mowbray Eagles, is a cricket team which represents the northern suburbs of Launceston in the Northern Tasmanian Cricket Association grade cricket competition, in the Australian state of Tasmania.
There is evidence of a cricket club in the Mowbray district as early as 1922. [1] The current Mowbray cricket club was established in 1955 and has a history of nurturing outstanding Tasmanian talent including Australian representatives, Ricky Ponting and Greg Campbell, as well as Tasmanian representatives dating back to the 1950s.
The Mowbray club won the First Grade premiership in its debut season, 1955-56. In 1998-99, Mowbray became the first club in NTCA history to win Premierships from 1st to 4th grade in a single season (the four grades at the time being 1st, 2nd, 3rd & Under 16). The club's most recent success came in the 2025-26 season, winning the Cricket North T20 pennant. [2]
