UTS North Sydney District Cricket Club, formerly known as North Sydney District Cricket Club, is a cricket club based in North Sydney, Australia. The Bears, as they are known, were founded in 1858 playing against Callen Park and other cricket clubs around Sydney at that time. UTS North Sydney currently plays in the NSW Premier Cricket. Having joined in 1893 as one of its founding members, the club is one of oldest elite cricket clubs in Sydney.
The club's home ground is North Sydney Oval. In the 1980s, North Sydney Council purchased some old grandstands from the Sydney Cricket Ground during its re-development, and relocated them to North Sydney Oval. In the 1980s, the club and community recognised the potential of the Miller St location and worked with the then North Sydney Mayor and current club Patron Ted Mack to develop the ground, enhancing its historic character.
In the men's competitions, the Bears have won 5 first grade premierships, 11 second grade cups, 9 third grade titles, 2 fifth grade titles, 2 Poidevin Gray (U21s) titles and 1 AW Green Shield (U16s) premiership. [1]
In the club's history, there have been several notable players. These include: [1]
The club is also home to NSW Premier Cricket First Grade appearances record-holder, Robert Aitken.
