The Rutland and District Cricket League (RDCL) is a Sunday League that administer's cricket clubs that participate in the League, Cup and trophy competitions.[1] Albeit a Rutland centric Sunday cricket league, the headquarters for the RDCL is based in Swineshead, Lincolnshire.[2]

The Rutland & District Cricket League operates mainly in Rutland, but many clubs participate from beyond the county boundary, with representatives from Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.[3] For the 2021 season the RDCL held 42 teams from 32 clubs in its divisions.[1] The League is divided into 5 Divisions with, wherever possible, a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 10 teams in each division.[4][5]

The most notable achievement in recent years is the dominating presence of Peterborough Town. Peterborough have won the League Championship no less that six times since 2010, and are poised to achieve further success after their sixth win in 2021.[6]
