The Scarborough Cricket Club was formed in 1946 as part of the Scarborough Sportsmen's Club and competed with considerable success in the Metroplitan Cricket Association. In 1957/58 the club was admitted into the WACA competition, limited to Second Grade and Third Grade teams. In the next 10 seasons the club progressed to having a Fourth Grade team, which went on to win the club's first Premiership in 1966/67. After much lobbying and hard work by the committee of the time, Scarborough Cricket Club earned promotion into the First Grade competition in 1968/69. Success in the early 1970's saw the club participate in three successive First Grade Finals, culminating in the club winning it's first First Grade Flag in the 1976/77 season.
