1836 English cricket season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1836 English cricket season saw the first real move towards setting up a county club. Although Sussex had been a major cricket centre since the 17th century, there had apparently been no move towards a permanent county organisation until 17 June 1836 when a meeting in Brighton set up a Sussex Cricket Fund to support county matches. It was from this organisation that Sussex CCC was formally constituted in 1839.
The inaugural North v. South fixture was held at Lord’s on 11 & 12 July.
