Albion Cricket Club (Dunedin)

Albion Cricket Club is a cricket club based in Dunedin, New Zealand.

Founded in 1862, it is reputedly the oldest continuously existing club in either New Zealand or Australia.

In 2013, Albion stalwart Warwick Larkins, convener of the 150th celebrations, enquired in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide and found:"Melbourne Cricket Club [founded in 1838] is older than us, but no-one knew whether they had been continuous or not."

The club's home ground is at Culling Park in Musselburgh.
