The Sussex Cricket League, founded in 1971,[1] is the top level of competition for recreational club cricket in Sussex, England, and since 1999 the Premier Division has been a designated ECB Premier League.[2] The League Headquarters is based in Hove, East Sussex.[3] Following a review of club cricket in Sussex the league now has thirty five divisions, and no longer are there separate competitions for 2nd and lower XIs.
