The team is currently a member of the National Counties Championship Western Division Two and plays in the NCCA Knockout Trophy.

The county has an outstanding record in both the Championship and the one-day knockout trophy, which it has won five times, most recently in 2014.

Counties are arranged into two geographical groups of ten – Eastern and Western sections – and sub-divided into divisions one and two with promotion and relegation between them.

The NCCA Trophy is a 50-overs-a-side competition in which all teams initially play in a different group of five sides, organised geographically.

The winner and runner-up in each of the four groups play in a series of knockout stages, culminating in a final.

There was a shared title with Bedfordshire in 2004, another success in 2006 and the most recent achievement was a victory against Cambridgeshire in the Championship final at March in September 2011.

The right to play List A cricket was lost in 2006 when the Minor Counties were excluded from the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy from that onward.

It first won in 1978, when Barrie Matthews was skipper, and for four consecutive years from 1994 to 1997, a record for the competition, under the leadership of the late Peter Roebuck.
