Buckinghamshire County Cricket Club is one of the county clubs which make up the Minor Counties in the English domestic cricket structure, representing the historic county of Buckinghamshire and playing in the Minor Counties Championship and the MCCA Knockout Trophy. The Minor Counties play three-day matches at a level below that of the first-class game. At present, Buckinghamshire competes in the Eastern Division of the Minor Counties Championship.
The club has its administrative headquarters at Little Chalfont and plays its matches around the county at various locations. Until 1979 it played regularly at Ascott Park, the home of the Rothschild family which was prominent in the club's foundation.
