The club has seen huge success in recent years, including becoming the first club to win the Worsley Cup four years in a row, from 2013 to 2016, as well as enjoying a record breaking season in 2015 in which it won all four senior trophies; the league, the Worsley Cup, the 20/20 Competition and the Ron Singleton Colne Trophy.

Over the next few years they played matches at Stoneyholme and Healey Heights, before taking the name Burnley Cricket Club by 1833.

[5] Notable matches in the period before a league was organised include: A three-day visit from the All-England Eleven (then headed by George Parr) in 1868; matches against an Australian eleven, featuring Fred Spofforth and Billy Murdoch, in 1878 and 1880, of which Burnley won the first; and an 1890-match between two visiting ladies' teams which attracted thousands of spectators.
