The team is currently a member of the National Counties Cricket Championship Western Division, having joined in 1988 (under the name Wales Minor Counties) after Somerset's second eleven left the competition, and plays in the NCCA Knockout Trophy. Wales National County played List A matches occasionally from 1993 until 2005 but is not classified as a List A team per se.[1]
Club history
Some Welsh counties formerly competed individually in the National Counties Cricket Championship. Glamorgan was easily the most successful and it became first-class in 1921. The others were Carmarthenshire from 1908 to 1911; Denbighshire from 1930 to 1935; and Monmouthshire from 1901 to 1934.
The club first played List A cricket in the 1993 NatWest Trophy against Sussex.[2] The club appeared in eighteen List A matches from 1993 to 2005, winning eight and losing ten, the majority of which were against first-class opponents.[2] Wales National County lost the right to play List A cricket when the National Counties were excluded from the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy from the 2006 season onward.[3]
