They currently play in the Leinster Senior League, and in the past had first-class status, and played against several sides that were touring England, including the Australians (twice), South Africans (three times) and West Indians (as late as 1923).

Four former DUCC men played Test cricket -- Leland Hone (England), Clement Johnson (South Africa), Ed Joyce and George Dockrell (Ireland).
