Based on the success of the 2023 and 2024 competitions and in response to enquiries, Cricket Leinster is now inviting applications from corporate/business entities to enter the Hundred Ball Corporate League for 2025.
As last season, this League will provide individuals with the opportunity to organise a team to represent their company in a series of matches over the summer months against other companies.
If you wish to enter a team, you can also do so on the following link:

All HBBL fixtures, results and league tables will be posted on the Cricket Leinster website and the winning team(s) will be presented with a trophy (and individual medals) at the conclusion of the competition.
From a regulations standpoint, this competition will largely mirror the HBL (as launched in 2018) with CL providing one umpire per match and score-sheets etc.
This is a coloured clothing (ideally t-shirts with corporate branding/logos) and pink ball competition.
All matches will take place on week-day evenings over the June/July period and will start at 6.00pm.
Some key reminder points to note at this stage:
Akin to mixed tag rugby, all teams are required to have at least 3 female players whose runs scored will be counted as doubles.
The emphasis is on achieving an appropriate mix of performance, participation & fun – and a sporting chance to represent your company after the daily toil is complete!
Last season's competition included teams from Deloittes (who won the tournament in 2023 & 2024), Microsoft (finalists), Glanbia, PWC, EY, Grant Thornton, Amazon, Workday, KPMG and others.
