The ČMKS runs Domestic leagues and operates a cricket-dedicated facility at the [Vinoř Cricket Ground](/source/Vino%C5%99_Cricket_Ground), with two fields, which has been in operation since 2012.[2][3] Their development partner, KAČR, delivers introduction to cricket programmes in Czech schools, runs soft ball and hard ball clubs and tournaments at U10, U12, U14 and U16 level for boys and girls.[4] On June 8 to June 13, 2025, Prague's Vinoř Cricket Ground hosted the *[Central Europe Cup](/source/Central_Europe_Cup)*, an international Twenty cricket tournament organized by the Czech Cricket Union. This year's event features national teams from [Austria](/source/Austria), [Norway](/source/Norway), [Gibraltar](/source/Gibraltar), and the Czech Republic competing in a round-robin format. The tournament aims to elevate the profile of cricket in Central Europe, attracting growing interest across the region.[5] ## Administration The ČMKS is a member-based organisation; clubs that join the association become members with full voting rights.
