Sandyford Cricket Club was founded in 1984 in the Dublin suburb of Sandyford. The club's home ground is located in Marlay Park, a 300-acre public park, approximately 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) from Dublin city centre. The club is a member of the Leinster Cricket Union.

Teams

As of 2022, the club fields three adult teams across several divisions. These include the:

  • first team in division 6
  • second team in division 12
  • third team in division 19

Location

Sandyford CC is based in Marlay Park in Rathfarnham. As of 2022, this was also the location where the Longitude Festival is held each year. After the 3 concerts and 3 days of Longitude Festival in 2022, the outfield was left in ruins and in a state that was unfit to play cricket.

As of September 2022, Sandyford Cricket Club and Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council were working to move the cricket ground to a new location in keeping with the Marlay Park Master Plan.
