Cricket probably reached Suffolk in the 17th century. According to Bowen, the earliest reference to cricket in Suffolk was in 1743.
The first county match was Norfolk v Suffolk at Bury St Edmunds Race Course on Thursday 23 August 1764, which was won by Norfolk. This was reported in the ''Gazetteer & London Daily Advertiser'' on Tuesday 28 August. More games against Norfolk followed.
A county organisation was formed on 27 July 1864 and a county side took part in the Minor Counties Championship from 1904 to 1914, with no great success. The present Suffolk CCC was founded in August 1932 and rejoined the Minor Counties Championship in 1934.
Suffolk is rated first-class in four 19th century matches.
The Bury Club of Suffolk became prominent in the 1820s, especially after Fuller Pilch joined it in 1824. The club played a number of matches against decent opposition and eventually was able to take on MCC. Some of these games were "borderline" but in 1830 a Bury side with given men (one of them Jem Broadbridge) played MCC in two matches that are rated first-class.
After this, the Bury Club declined but then staged a revival in the 1840s and was again able to challenge MCC. Two matches in 1847, in which Suffolk had given men, are rated first-class.
Suffolk has won the Minor Counties Championship four times, one of them shared. It won outright in 1946, 1977 and 1979. Its most recent success was a shared title with Cheshire in 2005.
SCCC played their first game at Lord's on (bank holiday) Monday, 27th August 2007 in the Minor Counties Knock-out Final.
