The Tioga Cricket Club was a cricket club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.[1] The club played their home matches at the self-titled "Tioga Cricket Club Ground", based on Westmoreland Street in Tioga, Philadelphia.[2] Their first recorded match was in 1887,[3] and in 1890, they joined the Halifax Cup, a formal tournament between a number of cricket clubs in the Philadelphia region.[4] The club was the initial home of Bart King,[5] who was described in his Wisden Cricketers' Almanack obituary as "beyond question the greatest all-round cricketer produced by America."[6] Along with the other teams in the area, Tioga contributed players to the Philadelphian cricket team, who played a number of first-class cricket matches against English opposition.[7] The club disbanded following the 1896 season.[4]
