About Northern Territory Cricket Ltd 

Northern Territory Cricket Ltd is the peak sporting body for cricket in the Territory. As custodians of the sport, we work closely with Cricket Australia, the seven other State & Territory Associations and our members to serve and grow the game. Our purpose is to unite and inspire our community through cricket, and our vision is to create a thriving sport for all. 

Cricket in the Northern Territory is unique. Our small, but richly diverse community, is spread across a vast and rugged land mass bigger than most countries. Our two largest towns are 1,500kms apart. Our season never ends, with Top End cricketers playing in the dry season, while those in the Red Centre battle it out over summer. Cricket doesn’t stop in the Northern Territory and that’s the way we like it. 

Cricket in the Territory is also entering its most exciting phase of growth and opportunity in over a decade. There is a small driven tight knit team of people hell bent on driving positive change and elevating the role we play in Australian Cricket. If you want to be part of this and have what it takes to creatively tell the stories, then we want to hear from you!
