How to Join

All Candidates for MCC membership must be proposed, seconded and sponsored by Full (or Senior) Members of MCC.

Each application then needs to be endorsed by either: a current member of the MCC Committee; a current member of an MCC sub-committee; or a current Area Representative appointed by the MCC Committee to assist in the organisation of its out-match playing programme.

In total, therefore, four MCC Members need to support a person's nomination for membership of the Club.

All Candidates must be aged at least sixteen before being nominated.

In the case of Playing and Out-Match Candidates, one of the endorsements - or, if preferred, another Full Member - must support the Candidate's ability as a cricketer on his/her proposal form.

Playing Members need to be aged between 16 and 40, and are required to appear in a minimum number of MCC matches spread across two consecutive years.

Out-Match Members also need to be aged between 16 and 40, and while they are expected to appear in the same number of MCC matches over the two-year period, they do not receive the right to watch matches at Lord's so, accordingly, pay a lower annual subscription.

All Candidates are required to pay a registration fee before their names are entered into the Club's books.

This registration fee is deducted from the entrance fee which is payable if the Candidate is elected as a Full Member of the Club.

With a waiting list of approximately twenty-nine years, successful candidates will be given an opportunity to become an Associate Member before becoming a Full Member of MCC.

While Associate Members will not have the same rights as a Full Member, they will have the right to attend selected matches at Lord’s alongside a number of other benefits.
