Glamorgan county cricket club, is a historic club in the United Kingdom which was formed in Wales in 1888 and held Minor status till 1921. Their prominent rise in the Minor County Championship before the First World War saw them earn the first-class status and are still the only Welsh club with that honour, since then they have been a noted member in the domestic competitions in England and Wales.

The club is based in the Welsh capital city of Cardiff and play most of their home games at the beautiful Sophia Gardens and occasionally play at Swansea, Cressely and Colwyn Bay. Although Cardiff Arms Park was the teams home in the early 20th century, they made their first-class debut here against Sussex in 1921 as skipper Norman Riches led them to a 23 run win, but had a poor season overall and finished last that year.

Glamorgan have won three County Championship titles in their history, Wilf Wooller led the team to their first title in 1948 by outclassing the bigger sides in the competition, other two triumphs came in 1969 and 1997 under the leadership of Tony Lewis and Matthew Maynard respectively. They are also one of the very few teams to register wins against all Test playing nations. 

They wore red and green in the early parts of the 21st century as they were called the Glamorgan Dragons. Since 2010 they are just called Glamorgan and wear the Blue and yellow kit. The club has four One-Day Cups trophies in their cabin winning them in 1993, 2002, 2004 and the latest one was added just last year.

One of the biggest name in the club is Robert Croft who amassed over 10,000 runs and over 1000 wickets for the club and went on to represent England in 21 Tests and 50 ODIs. Don Shepherd with 2,174 wickets and Alan Jones with 34,506 runs have topped in their respective art for the club. In 1969, Glamorgan's Malcolm Nash was at the recieving end as Gary Sobers made it to the history books by smashing him for six-sixes in an over.

Some iconic names have played for this great club over the years, renowned broadcaster Alan Wilkins spent eight years with the club, Caribbean legend Viv Richards had a three year stint with the club right at the end of his career, India's former captain and coach Ravi Shastri spent some years with the club and Sourav Ganguly, Herschelle Gibbs and Jacques Kallis had small stint with the club.

The club is currently doing well under the leadership of David Lloyd with some stars in the side like Colin Ingram, Marnus Labuschagne and Michael Hogan and are trying to hold the Welsh pride in high regards.
