Bishop Auckland Cricket Club was formed in 1853, but some earlier records show Bishop Auckland played before this date against local village teams, usually for wagers.
In 1856 the village of Bishop Auckland was growing; past history mentions cricket being played on South Church Road.
Then Bishops slowly edged its way along South Church Road playing on wastelands and playing fields eventually playing on the land King James School now stands. Then in 1908 the original lease was drawn up with the church institute and football club for a term of 999 years to play on the present ground Kingsway.
Bishop Auckland applied to the NYSD league in 1904 and were refused, eventually being accepted in 1905 for the 1906 season of which there were 11 teams.
The first season finishing 2nd bottom. Our 2nd eleven joined the league in 1921.
Bishops were champions for the first time in 1934. Then a long wait to the second title in 1966. The title was also won in 1973, 1980, 1999.
The club now has junior sections starting from 5 years of age to 18 years of age. Playing their cricket in the Durham County Junior League.
