Cricket Viktoria never developed any sort of national presence in the period leading up to World War II.

At the time Cricket Viktoria played in the second division Bezirksklasse Magdeburg-Anhalt and on the strength of a first-place finish there earned promotion to the Gauliga Mitte.

They played at the top flight until a last place finish and relegation in 1942 after the club had been weakened by the draft of many its players into the army.

They later moved to the Cricketer Sportpark, or Kricketerplatz, located in the district of Cracau in the eastern part of Magdeburg, near Jerichower Strasse and Herrenkrugstrasse, on property owned by the German military.

Cricket Viktoria sent Ernst Jordan as a defender to the Germany national team in its first ever official international match on 5 April 1908.

It was his first and only appearance for the side as he scored an own goal in a 3–5 defeat against Switzerland and his performance received poor reviews in the sports pages of the day.
