North Sydney District Cricket Club is a community based not-for-profit sports club that was founded in 1858. Initially the Bears played clubs such as Callan Park. North Sydney joined the Sydney Grade Cricket (now NSW Premier Cricket) Competition as a founding member in 1893. This makes the Bears one of the oldest elite clubs in Sydney.

The club's home ground is the famous North Sydney Oval where it has remained since its inception. The club also play at Bon Andrews, adjacent to North Sydney Oval in St Leonards Park, and the picturesque Tunks Park in Northbridge.

The Bears have won five first grade premierships, 11 second grade cups, 9 third grade titles, and one each in fifth grade, Poidevin Gray (u21s) and AW Green Shield (U16s). In the 1980s and 1990s, a powerful North Sydney side captured four limited-overs titles from six. That strength in the short form of the game continued in 2012/13 with the club claiming it's fifth one day premiership.

In 2018, North Sydney joined forces with the University of Technology Sydney to provide young cricketers with the opportunity to combine their passion for cricket with their tertiary studies. The UTS North Sydney Bears also incepted a senior women's cricket program in 2018/19.

NSDCC is run by volunteers and provides the opportunity for our young community members to learn and develop their cricket. NSDCC provides high quality facilities for training, expert coaching and administration for a community of in excess of 600 registered players from under 9s through to Premier cricket and is an important pathway for representative cricket.

Our fund is aiming to raise funds that will be used to support:

• Bon Andrews Canteen facility
• Playing and training facilities and equipment
• Representative pathways
• Coaching and administrative development
