Johnsonville Cricket Club was founded in 1886, which makes it one of the oldest cricket clubs in the Wellington region. It is a club for all ages and skills, and its junior section puts the emphasis on coaching young players and giving them a game, whatever their age or ability. There are mixed junior teams for boys and girls in Years 2 to 8, a Smash Play group for boys and girls aged five or six, and girls-only teams for those who prefer them. Players in Years 5 to 8 can also join the Hawke's Bay cricket camp in January 2027. Players and coaches stay in a school hostel or at Woodford House and Hereworth, and families come along and arrange their own accommodation.
The clubrooms are in Waiora, the new shared sports facility on the top field at Alex Moore Park, reached from Bannister Avenue in Johnsonville. The club has a four-lane practice net facility and use of an indoor three-lane facility, so training does not depend on the weather as much as it might. Registrations for the 2026/27 season are open until 29 September 2026. Junior players wear a blue JCC playing shirt, a JCC cap and white shorts or long pants. Shirts are made to order, and orders close on the same day as registrations. For a cricket club, the nets and the park matter as much as the scoreboard, and here both sit in the same Johnsonville park.
