Cricket Australia Scores Big: Raising $79M to Fuel the Future of Australia’s Favourite Sport

Cricket Australia is thrilled to announce that we have successfully raised AUD 79,000,000 in our latest funding round—a major milestone that underscores our commitment to fulfilling our mission as the custodian of cricket and championing Australia’s favourite sport. With this significant funding, we are poised to accelerate our strategic goals and further our vision of making cricket a sport that every Australian can enjoy and take pride in. This investment not only reaffirms the trust and confidence our stakeholders have in our direction but also provides us with the momentum to expand our initiatives across the country. As an organization with over 200 dedicated employees stationed in our Melbourne offices, at the state-of-the-art Bupa National Cricket Centre in Brisbane, and various other locations across Australia, Cricket Australia has long been at the forefront of nurturing and promoting the game. Our ambition goes beyond just maintaining the legacy of cricket; it is about inspiring every Australian to love the sport and ensuring that cricket is accessible and engaging to communities everywhere. The newly raised funds will be strategically deployed to enhance grassroots development programs, improve facilities, and create more pathways for talent at all levels—from budding cricketers in local communities to elite professional athletes. This funding round marks an important step in our journey to expand the reach of cricket and provide transformative opportunities for our athletes and supporters. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating this achievement and to learn more about our vision and strategic goals by visiting our official website at http://www.cricketaustralia.com.au/about/our-strategy.
