The Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) is a sports club based in Melbourne, Australia. It was founded in 1838 and is one of the oldest sports clubs in Australia.[1]
The MCC is responsible for management and development of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, a power given to it by the government-appointed MCG Trust and an Act of Parliament. This also guarantees the club's occupation of about 20 per cent of the stadium for its members reserve.
In 1859, members drafted the first set of rules for Australian rules football. In 1877, it hosted the first game of Test cricket in history—played between Australia and England. In 1971, the ground hosted the first One Day International cricket match.
As well as cricket, the MCC is also an umbrella organisation for other sports, such as Australian rules football, baseball (through the Melbourne Baseball Club), bowls, croquet, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, netball, target shooting, squash, real tennis and tennis.
Since 2009 the Melbourne Football Club has been the football division of the club having previously been part of the club from 1889 to 1980.[2] There also exists a women's team competing in the Victorian Amateur Football Association, called the MCC Football Club. [3]
