Oxford University Cricket Club (now closely linked to the Oxford Universities Centre of Cricketing Excellence, but retaining its independence) is a first-class cricket team, representing the University of Oxford. It plays its home games at the University Parks in Oxford, England.

Cricketers who have competed in the first class four day Varsity Match against Cambridge University are eligible for an Oxford Blue.

The earliest reference to cricket at Oxford University is the year 1729 because no less an authority than Dr Samuel Johnson was a student and later stated that he played cricket there.

Oxford University made its first class debut in 1827 when it played Cambridge University Cricket Club in the first ever University Match, which is the oldest 1st Class Fixture in the world.
