About Us

Our Story

Golden State Cricket Club (GSCC) was founded in 2018 as Bengals Cricket Club with the vision of inspiring the next generation of cricketers in Northern California. In 2024, we officially became part of Bengals Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to fostering community connection through the power of sport.

Our 160+ members come from diverse ethnicities, professions, and age groups, united by a love for the game and a commitment to excellence. We compete in leagues organized by the Bay Area Cricket Alliance (BACA) and Northern California Cricket Association (NCCA), sanctioned by USA Cricket and affiliated with the International Cricket Council (ICC).

The evolution from Bengals Cricket Club to Golden State Cricket Club in 2026 reflects our broader vision: to unite diverse communities under one banner and use sport as a force for connection, growth, and positive social impact.
