Cricket clubs operate in a complex environment filled with unique risks that standard insurance policies simply cannot address. From the moment your first player steps onto the pitch to the final spectator leaving your pavilion, your club faces potential liabilities that could result in devastating financial consequences without proper protection.
At Insure24, we understand that cricket clubs are more than just sports facilities – they're community hubs, social centers, and businesses that require comprehensive protection. Whether you're managing a small village cricket club with a handful of members or overseeing a large county club with extensive facilities, our specialist cricket club insurance provides the tailored coverage you need to operate with confidence.
The cricket industry has evolved significantly over recent years, with clubs facing increased scrutiny over safety standards, higher compensation claims, and more complex regulatory requirements. Modern cricket clubs must navigate challenges including equipment theft, spectator injuries, player accidents, property damage, cyber threats, and business interruption risks that can threaten the very existence of your organization.
Our comprehensive cricket club insurance solutions are designed by specialists who understand the sport, the risks, and the unique operational challenges that cricket clubs face daily. We work with leading insurers to provide competitive rates while ensuring your club receives the protection it deserves.
Cricket clubs typically own or manage substantial assets that are vulnerable to various risks. Your pavilion, changing rooms, equipment stores, and maintenance facilities represent significant investments that need protection against fire, flood, storm damage, theft, and vandalism. Many clubs underestimate the replacement value of their assets, leaving them seriously underinsured when disaster strikes.
Modern cricket clubs rely on expensive equipment including professional-grade mowers, pitch maintenance machinery, cricket equipment, scoreboards, sight screens, and electronic systems. This equipment is often stored in vulnerable locations and can be targeted by thieves or damaged by weather events. The cost of replacing specialized cricket equipment can run into tens of thousands of pounds.
Cricket involves fast-moving balls that can cause serious injuries to spectators, players, and passersby. Unlike many other sports, cricket balls can travel at high speeds and in unpredictable directions, creating unique liability risks. Spectators may be injured by balls leaving the playing area, while visitors to your facilities could suffer slip, trip, and fall accidents on uneven surfaces or in poorly maintained areas.
Cricket players face risks from fast bowling, fielding accidents, collision injuries, and equipment-related incidents. While players typically accept certain risks when participating, clubs can still face liability claims if accidents result from inadequate safety measures, poor equipment maintenance, or negligent supervision.
Many cricket clubs host social events, fundraisers, tournaments, and community gatherings that increase their exposure to liability claims. These events often involve alcohol service, catering, entertainment, and large crowds, all of which create additional risk factors that must be properly managed and insured.
Cricket clubs rely heavily on volunteers and committee members who may face personal liability for their decisions and actions. Without proper protection, these individuals could be held personally responsible for club debts, legal issues, or poor decision-making that results in financial losses.

Do we need insurance if we're just a small village cricket club?
Yes, even small cricket clubs face significant risks that could result in substantial financial losses. Public liability is essential as cricket balls can cause serious injuries to spectators, and your pavilion and equipment represent valuable assets that need protection. The size of your club doesn't reduce the potential severity of claims, and smaller clubs often have less financial resilience to handle uninsured losses.
Are our players covered under our cricket club insurance?
Players can be covered under personal accident insurance, but this is typically an optional add-on to your main policy. Standard public liability insurance may not cover player-to-player injuries during normal play. We recommend discussing your specific needs with our team to ensure adequate player protection, especially for junior players or those participating in higher-risk activities.
What happens if a cricket ball damages a neighbor's property?
This would typically be covered under your public liability insurance, provided you have adequate coverage limits in place. However, repeated damage to the same property or damage resulting from inadequate safety measures might affect your coverage. We can help you determine the right level of coverage for your location and implement risk reduction measures to minimize such incidents.
Do we need separate cover for our bar and catering facilities?
Bar stock and catering equipment can be included in your contents coverage, while food poisoning liability should be covered under your public liability policy. However, if you operate a substantial catering business or hold a premises license, you may need additional coverage. We'll ensure all aspects of your food and beverage operations are properly covered, including stock, equipment, and liability risks.
How much does cricket club insurance cost?
Costs vary significantly depending on your club size, facilities, activities, location, and coverage requirements. A small village club might pay £500-£1,500 annually, while larger clubs with extensive facilities could pay £3,000-£10,000 or more. The best approach is to contact us for a personalized quote based on your specific needs and circumstances.
Can we get cover for our annual cricket festival or tournament?
Yes, we can arrange additional coverage for special events and tournaments. This might include increased public liability limits, event cancellation coverage, additional equipment protection, and coverage for visiting teams. Event insurance can be arranged as an extension to your annual policy or as a separate short-term policy for specific events.
What if we rent our facilities rather than own them?
If you rent your facilities, you'll still need contents insurance for your equipment and belongings, plus public liability coverage for your activities. You may also need tenant's improvements coverage if you've made modifications to the rented premises. Your lease agreement will specify your insurance obligations, and we can help ensure you meet all requirements.
Do we need cyber insurance for our cricket club?
If your club maintains member databases, processes online payments, or uses digital systems for bookings and communications, cyber insurance is increasingly important. Data breaches can result in significant costs and regulatory fines under GDPR. Even small clubs can be targeted by cybercriminals, making this coverage a wise investment for modern cricket clubs.
How do we handle insurance when hosting visiting teams?
Your public liability insurance should cover injuries to visiting players and spectators during matches at your ground. However, visiting teams should have their own insurance for their equipment and internal injuries. We recommend establishing clear insurance requirements for all teams using your facilities and ensuring adequate coverage limits for match days.
What about coverage for coaching activities and junior cricket?
Coaching activities may require professional indemnity insurance in addition to public liability coverage. Junior cricket often involves additional risks and may require enhanced safety measures and coverage. We can help you understand the specific requirements for youth cricket programs and ensure appropriate protection for both coaches and young players.
How much does cricket club insurance cost per year?
Cricket club insurance costs typically range from £500-£1,500 annually for small village clubs, while larger clubs with extensive facilities may pay £3,000-£10,000 or more.

Contact Insure24 on 0330 127 2333 for a personalized quote based on your specific requirements.

Does cricket club insurance cover player injuries?

This is especially recommended for junior cricket programs.
What happens if cricket balls damage cars in our car park?
Damage to vehicles in your club car park would typically be covered under your Public Liability insurance, provided you have adequate coverage limits. However, repeated incidents might affect your premiums. Installing protective netting and warning signs can help reduce these risks and demonstrate proper risk management to insurers.
Do cricket clubs need professional indemnity insurance?
Cricket clubs providing coaching services should consider Professional Indemnity insurance to cover claims arising from coaching advice or instruction. This is particularly important for clubs with qualified coaches offering paid coaching services or running coaching academies. ECB-qualified coaches may also require this coverage.
Can cricket clubs get insurance for equipment theft?

What is the minimum public liability cover for cricket clubs?
Most cricket governing bodies require minimum £2 million Public Liability coverage, though £6 million is recommended for clubs with regular matches and events. The ECB and county cricket associations often specify minimum coverage requirements for affiliated clubs. Higher limits may be needed for clubs hosting tournaments or large events.
Does cricket club insurance cover weather damage to pitches?
Weather damage to cricket pitches and playing surfaces is typically covered under Buildings insurance if the pitch is considered part of your insured property. Storm damage, flooding, and other weather-related pitch damage can be covered, though gradual deterioration and normal wear aren't covered.
Do volunteer cricket coaches need separate insurance?
Volunteer coaches should be covered under your club's Public Liability insurance for third-party claims. However, they may need Personal Accident coverage for their own injuries and Professional Indemnity insurance if providing formal coaching services. Ensure your policy specifically covers volunteer activities.
What cricket club insurance do I need for junior cricket?
Junior cricket requires enhanced safety considerations and may need additional coverage including increased Public Liability limits, Personal Accident insurance for young players, and specific coverage for coaching activities. Child protection insurance and enhanced safeguarding measures may also be required.
Can cricket clubs get business interruption insurance?
Yes, Business Interruption insurance covers lost income when your club can't operate due to insured damage. This includes lost bar revenue, membership fees, and match day income following events like fire, flood, or storm damage. Coverage typically includes additional expenses to minimize interruption.
Do cricket clubs need cyber insurance in 2025?
Cyber insurance is increasingly important for cricket clubs managing member databases, online payments, and digital communications. Data breaches can result in GDPR fines and significant costs. Even small clubs can be targeted by cybercriminals, making cyber insurance a wise investment for modern cricket operations.
What insurance covers cricket club committee members?
Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance protects cricket club committee members from personal liability for their management decisions. This covers employment disputes, wrongful dismissal claims, and regulatory investigations. Committee members could be held personally liable for club debts without proper protection.
Does cricket club insurance cover food poisoning claims?
Food poisoning claims from club catering are typically covered under Public Liability insurance. This includes illness from bar food, match teas, and social events. Clubs with extensive catering operations may need additional coverage and should implement proper food safety procedures to reduce risks.
Can cricket clubs get insurance for cancelled matches?
Weather and Event Cancellation insurance can compensate for lost income from cancelled matches and tournaments. This specialized coverage helps protect against financial losses from weather-related cancellations, providing compensation for lost gate receipts, catering income, and additional expenses.
What happens if our cricket pavilion burns down?
Fire damage to your cricket pavilion would be covered under Buildings insurance, providing funds for rebuilding or repair. Business Interruption insurance would cover lost income during the rebuilding period. Ensure your coverage limits reflect current rebuilding costs, not just the original construction cost.
Do cricket clubs need employers liability for groundsmen?
Yes, if your cricket club employs groundsmen or any other staff, Employers Liability insurance is legally mandatory with minimum £5 million coverage. This covers compensation claims from employees injured at work and includes legal defense costs. Even part-time or seasonal staff must be covered.
Can cricket clubs get insurance for stolen cash?
Money insurance covers theft of cash from your cricket club premises or while in transit to the bank. This includes bar takings, membership fees, and gate receipts. Coverage typically includes cash in safes, tills, and during transportation, plus protection against counterfeit money and credit card fraud.
What insurance do cricket clubs need for tournaments?
Tournament insurance may require increased Public Liability limits, Event Cancellation coverage, and additional equipment protection. Temporary structures, increased spectator numbers, and visiting teams create additional risks. Some tournaments may require specific insurance certificates and coverage levels.
Does cricket club insurance cover legal expenses?
Legal Expenses insurance covers legal costs for employment disputes, contract disagreements, property disputes, and regulatory defense. This is particularly valuable for cricket clubs dealing with employment issues, supplier disputes, or regulatory investigations. Coverage typically includes legal representation and court costs.

How often should cricket clubs review their insurance coverage?
Cricket clubs should review their insurance annually or when significant changes occur such as facility improvements, equipment purchases, or increased membership.
