Hampshire County Cricket Club is one of eighteen first-class county clubs within the domestic cricket structure of England and Wales. It represents the historic county of Hampshire. Hampshire teams formed by earlier organisations,principally the Hambledon Club,always had first-class status and the same applied to the county club when it was founded in 1863. Because of poor performances for several seasons until 1885,Hampshire then lost its status for nine seasons until it was invited into the County Championship in 1895,since when the team have played in every top-level domestic cricket competition in England. Hampshire originally played at the Antelope Ground,Southampton until 1885 when they relocated to the County Ground,Southampton until 2000,before moving to the purpose-built Rose Bowl in West End,which is in the Borough of Eastleigh. The club has twice won the County Championship,in the 1961 and 1973 seasons.

In the 1772 English cricket season,it became normal practice to complete match scorecards and there are surviving examples from every subsequent season. Scorecards from 1772 have been found for three eleven-a-side matches in which the Hampshire county team played against an England team,and for one top-class single wicket match between Kent and Hampshire. The three Hampshire v England matches have been unofficially recognised by certain sources as first-class,although no such standard existed at the time. Prior to 1772,only four scorecards have survived,the last from a minor match in 1769.
In English cricket since the first half of the 18th century,various ad hoc teams have been formed for short-term purposes which have been called England to play against,say,Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) or an individual county team. The key factor is that they were non-international and there is a significant difference between them and the official England cricket team which takes part in international fixtures. Conceptually,there is evidence of this sort of team being formed,or at least mooted,since the 1730s. They have always been "occasional elevens" but,nevertheless,have invariably been strong sides. A typical example would be a selection consisting of leading players drawn from several county teams.
William Palmer was an English cricketer who played in the 1760s and 1770s. He was born and died in Coulsdon,Surrey. A top-order batsman,he was a member of the local Coulsdon Cricket Club and played county cricket for Surrey. Most of Palmer's career was before cricket's statistical record began in the 1772 season so relatively little is known of him but he regularly played in noted matches until 1776. He has been recorded in 24 eleven-a-side matches and in one top-class single wicket match. He was last recorded playing for Coulsdon against Chertsey in 1784 when he was 47 years old.
A variety of Kent county cricket teams played matches from the early 18th century until the formation of the original county club in 1842. The county's links to cricket go back further with Kent and Sussex generally accepted as the birthplace of the sport. It is widely believed that cricket was first played by children living on the Weald in Saxon or Norman times. The world's earliest known organised match was held in Kent c.1611 and the county has always been at the forefront of cricket's development through the growth of village cricket in the 17th century to representative matches in the 18th. A Kent team took part in the earliest known inter-county match,which was played on Dartford Brent in 1709.
In the 1773 English cricket season,there was a downturn in the fortunes of the Hambledon Club as their Hampshire team lost every match they are known to have played,and some of their defeats were heavy. Their poor results owed much to star bowler Thomas Brett having been injured. Three other county teams were active:Kent,Middlesex and Surrey. Teams called England took part in five matches,all against Hampshire,and won all five.
The 1787 cricket season in England is noteworthy for the foundation of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) after the opening of Thomas Lord's first ground in the parish of Marylebone,north of London. MCC soon became the sport's governing body with the new ground as its feature venue. The first match known to have been played at Lord's was on Monday,21 May,between the White Conduit Club and a Middlesex county team. The first match known to involve a team representing MCC was against White Conduit on Monday,30 July. Including these two,reports and/or match scorecards have survived of numerous eleven-a-side matches played in 1787. Eleven are retrospectively,but unofficially,recognised as first-class.

In English cricket,the years from 1751 to 1775 are notable for the rise of the Hambledon Club and the continuing spread of the sport across England. The Laws of Cricket underwent a re-codification in 1775,including the introduction of the leg before wicket rule and the addition of the third stump to the wicket.
In English cricket,the years 1846–1863 were the main period of the sport's "roundarm era". Although roundarm had been legalised amid great controversy,its timespan was relatively short. By 1863,there was an increasing demand for the legalisation of overarm bowling and this was achieved on 10 June 1864.
