Manawatu cricket team represents the Manawatū district of New Zealand. It competes in the Hawke Cup.
The Manawatu Cricket Association was formed in 1895.[1] The Manawatu team played in the very first match in the Hawke Cup, when they defeated Wairarapa in December 1910.[2] They have held the Hawke Cup nine times, the first time from February 1928 to March 1930, and most recently from February 2014 to February 2015.
Manawatu is one of the eight district associations that make up Central Districts, which competes in the first-class Plunket Shield, the 50-over Ford Trophy and the T20 Super Smash.[3]
