List of Australian intercolonial cricket matches
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of domestic first-class cricket matches in Australia up to 1899-00. It lists only those matches played between the various Australian colonies prior to Federation on January 1, 1901. Matches listed include composite team matches, such as Australian XI or Rest of Australia, played against either another composite team, or a colony.
See Intercolonial cricket in Australia for more details.
Additional first-class matches (not listed here) were played and included matches between representative colonial teams and visiting overseas teams. Some of these matches are recorded as Test matches. See separate articles History of Test cricket (to 1883), History of Test cricket (1884 to 1889) and History of Test cricket (1890 to 1900) for more details.
