1st XI Programme

Oxfordshire’s Men’s 1st XI competes in all three National Counties Cricket Association (NCCA) competitions:

• Championship (3-Day) – Western Division 1

• One Day Trophy (50 overs) – Group 3

• T20 (Twenty20 Cricket)  – Group 3

The NCCA Championship follows a regional two-division format in both the Western and Eastern regions, with five teams in each division. Promotion and relegation take place between divisions, and the winners of each Division 1 compete in the Championship Final. Oxfordshire has a proud record in this competition, having been crowned champions five times—in 1929, 1979, 1984, 1989, and most recently in 2021.

The One Day Trophy and T20 Cup are contested in four groups of five teams. In the T20 competition, the top three teams from each group advance to the Super 12s, with group winners progressing to Finals Day. In the One Day Trophy, the top teams across all groups enter the knockout stages, culminating in quarter-finals, semi-finals, and a final. Oxfordshire claimed the NCCA T20 title in 2022.

2nd XI Programme

Oxfordshire also operates a Men’s 2nd XI programme, delivering a small offering of competitive 50-over and T20 fixtures designed to foster player development and provide a pathway into the 1st XI.
