[1] Cricket has been played in Corfu since 1823 but remains a minor sport in Greece, with almost no media coverage around the country.

Cricket was brought to Greece by the British who occupied the Ionian Islands for 50 years, leaving in 1864.

Most of the players and coaches are Corfu Greeks, but there are also some Pakistanis and Afghanis playing, one max per club eleven in competitions.

Greece came runners-up in the 2005 European Affiliates Championships that took place August of that year.

In early September 2012 the European Division 2 T20 Championships were held in Corfu.
