The Port Adelaide Cricket Club is one of thirteen premier cricket clubs affiliated with the South Australian Cricket Association. We field four senior mens teams, seven junior teams, and one senior womens team playing in the Adelaide Turf Cricket Association.
Archival records document a Port Adelaide cricket team playing as early in the state's history as the 1860s. The team competed briefly in the Adelaide Suburban Cricket Association before forming a Port Adelaide Cricket Association in 1882-83.
William Whitridge proposed Port Adelaide at the annual meeting of the SACA in September 1885 but the motion was defeated due to the lack of available grounds. They were admitted for season 1893-94, and in 1896 combined with the Australs to play as Port-Australs for one final season.
The club was officially formed at a meeting at the Friendly Societies’ Room in July 1897 and its base was to be the Alberton Oval for the next century.
