About us
Marylebone Cricket Club (the Club) is the world’s most active cricket club, custodian of the Laws of Cricket and is also the owner of Lord’s Ground, affectionately known as the “Home of Cricket”. The MCC and Lord’s brands are renowned worldwide and are synonymous with excellence, prestige and providing an enjoyable customer experience, whether at an international cricket match or a special event. MCC is a club built on vision. Since the ambitious entrepreneur Thomas Lord staged our first match in 1787, we have been at the forefront of innovating the game, transforming it from a pastime into a global obsession. At our heart is Lord’s, the Home of Cricket. Taking care over every detail, we’re dedicated to growing its reputation as the most celebrated and admired venue in cricket. Yet our reach goes well beyond the boundary ropes of Lord’s. We take cricket further, making it more immersive, welcoming people of all cultures and backgrounds. Everything we do is for the good of the game – from working with local communities to growing cricket’s global influence. With circa 200 permanent/ fixed term employees based at Lord's, the Home of Cricket, covering a wide range of sectors, there is a potential role for you. Across the year, we recruit for both permanent and seasonal staff, across our teams offering competitive salaries and desirable benefits. We also recruit volunteers for match days to support and enhance the visitor experience at Lord’s. Our staff strive to help the Club realise its ambition of being the most admired cricket club in the world, and it is that unwavering drive and ambition that has helped Lord’s become universally recognised as the Home of Cricket.

MCC hosted a Cricket Bat Conference at Lord’s on Monday, which brought together key stakeholders in the game to discuss the future of bat-making in the sport, in response to what has been termed the ‘cricket bat emergency’ of a shortage of willow and spiralling prices. The event brought together the relevant areas of the industry for the first time, including retailers, willow suppliers, bat manufacturers from across the world, innovators and voices from other sports.
